 Product overview

Recombinant Human Chaperonin 60 produced in E. coli has a molecular mass of approximately 60 KDa.

 Description

Chaperonin 60(GroEL) and chaperonin 10(GroES) belong to the ubiquitous family of heat-shock molecular chaperones found in prokaryotes and in eukaryotic organelles. The chaperonins assist the folding of nascent, organelle-imported or stress-destabilized polypeptides. In vitro, purified GroEL together with purified GroES in the presence of Mg- ATP facilitate refolding and reactivation of denatured proteins. Chaperonin 60(GroEL) is expressed in E. coli.

 Purity

>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

 Storage buffer

Liquid. In Tris-HCl Buffer (pH 7.4).

 Download Datasheet

A chaperonin called GroEL-GroES complex (from Escherichia coli) (PDB code=1aon). Two rings of 7x2GroEL proteins (shown in blue and green) with a cap (just on one side) of GroES proteins (red and yellow). Unfolded proteins enter that cavity (which is protein sized) to be protected during folding.
