Abstract

Some newly synthesized proteins require the assistance of molecular chaperones for their folding. Chaperones are also involved in the dissolution of protein aggregates. Hence, the study of molecular chaperones has biotechnology and medical importance. We intend to search the SUCEST data bank in order to identify and annotate the genes of stress related proteins, mainly chaperones and Hsps. (AU)
