Some subjects discussed are molecular chaperones in normal and pathologic states, genetic polymorphism of immunoproteasome and its functional value, and genetic polymorphism of alpha-1-inhibitor of proteinases and its clinical value.
By interacting with periplasmic molecular chaperones it is achieved that the assembly of pili is prevented or inhibited and thereby the infectivity of the bacteria is diminished.
Molecular chaperones, like their human counterparts, prevent inappropriate liaisons between their charges and tempters that would lead them astray.
