Very interesting review of the history of the study of chaperonins by a legend in the field - Dr. Arthur Horwich. Protein folding is without question one of the most interesting topics in the field of molecular and cell biology, yet one of the least well understood.
We are still far far away from efficiently folding a particular amino acid chain into a functional protein by just adding a bunch of chaperonins, other ancillary agents along with the right environmental conditions. Lets hope that this "utopia" is too far away in the future.
