A.Hsp70, a chaperone protein produced in large quantities in the human body in response to a variety of stress conditions (e.g., temperature, alcohol, drugs, and heavy metals), protects cells by preventing protein aggregation and assists other proteins in their folding. It binds metal ions (yellow and red spheres), and over 400 water molecules (blue spheres) are associated with the protein (Argonne). |
