FOLDING A MIRROR-IMAGE PROTEIN.

The article focuses on a research by biochemist Michael S. Kay and colleagues at the University of Utah School of Medicine, related to folding of natural chaperone protein GroEL, published in the periodical "Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences" in 2014. It discusses benefits of methods for synthesizing mirror image proteins for generating larger versions of proteins and use of recombinant GroEL/ES to fold a mirror-image version of 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrodipicolinate synthase (DapA).
