Heat Shock Proteins
From Proteopedia
Heat Shock Proteins (Hsp). The Hsp are proteins which are expressed when cells are exposed to stresses like heat. Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90 etc. are named according to their molecular weights. Their function is to provide protection from stress. The image at the right corresponds to one representative Hsp, i.e. the crystal structure of Hsp60 from Methanococcus maripaludis (3los). See also Chaperones.
