Small heat shock proteins are a diverse, ancient, and important family of proteins. All
organisms possess small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), indicating that these proteins …

Many bacteria live only within animal cells and infect hosts through cytoplasmic inheritance.
These endosymbiotic lineages show distinctive population structure, with small population …

Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2. 1.1) is a protein that is especially well-suited to serve as a
model in many types of studies in biophysics, bioanalysis, the physical-organic chemistry of …

This review presents a comparison between the complex genetic regulatory networks that
control nitrogen fixation in three representative rhizobial species, Rhizobium meliloti …

Increased synthesis of heat shock proteins (hsp) occurs in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
when they are exposed to stress. By increasing their hsp content, cells protect themselves …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are a conserved and ubiquitous protein family. Their
ability to convey thermoresistance suggests their participation in protecting the native …

The specific mechanism of cell killing by hyperthermia is unknown, but the high activation
energy of cell killing and other responses to hyperthermia suggest that protein denaturation …
