GroEL/GroES (chaperonin 60/chaperonin 10)

GroEL/GroES is called as Molecular Ice. Folding intermediates were captured by a hydrophobic cavity in 14mer GroEL, native form of proteins can be released by adding  ATP-Mg++, GroES. A subset of E. coli proteins need  chaperonin to gain an active form. Refolding of proteins from inclusion body expressed in prokaryotic system may be painful. For small amount of functional protein, the best way is to try chaperonin system, since it is perfected in the billions of year by Nature. 

GroEL/GroES are purified in a small scale with the protocol developed in our Lab. The GroES is the purest sample on the market.
