Biochemists simulate a protein-folding chaperone's functional dance

Using a combination of computational and experimental techniques, a research team has demystified the pathway of interdomain communication in a family of proteins known as Hsp70s -- a top target of dozens of research laboratories trying to develop new anti-cancer drugs, antibiotics and treatments for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
