Arthur Horwich explains the function of molecular chaperones and their role in preventing protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases.

Air date: Wednesday, January 27, 2010, PM Time displayed is Eastern Time, Washington DC Local Category: Wednesday Afternoon Lectures Description: Lecture Objectives: 1. Explain the biological function of molecular chaperones, in particular the chaperonin ring class of chaperones. 2. Explain the mechanism of action of chaperonins, including the nature of their use of ATP. 3. Discuss studies of protein misfolding and neurodegenerative disease, relating the action of chaperones in one such condition. The NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.
