Covers the most recent advances in the field of protein folding and its impact on future technologies. Reviews in vivo aspects such as mechanisms of inclusion body formation and molecular chaperones, and includes highlights of Jonathan King's work at MIT. In vitro aspects examined include methods of protein folding, recovery of commercial protein products, and genetic approaches to understanding and solving protein folding problems. Written by leading scientists inthe field, the volume provides a linkage between fundamental academic research and industrial applications of protein folding technology.
