Comments by Judith Frydman and F. Ulrich Hartl, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York

This paper describes a series of experiments "analyzing how polypeptide chains fold to their final shapes when being synthesized," according to F. Ulrich Hartl, a member of the cellular biochemistry and biophysics program at New York City-based Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute associate investigator there.

Frydman and Hartl KNOWING WHEN TO FOLD: Judith Frydman and F. Ultrich Hartl tested a hypothesis concerning protein folding.

Using the folding of the protein luciferase from fireflies as a model, the researchers "attempted to answer two main questions: first, whether molecular chaperones were involved in protein folding during translation; and second, which chaperone systems participated in ...
