Molecular biology: Triggering positive competition
Ada Yonath1
Abstract
In most bacteria, a molecule known as trigger factor prevents misfolding of newly made proteins emerging from their ribosome factory. The dynamic action of this molecule has been followed using fluorescence spectroscopy.
Proteins have specific structures designed for their tasks, the fold of each protein being dictated by its amino-acid sequence. Within the cell, protein folding occurs as the protein is being made by a multi-subunit complex called the ribosome.
