Structure of trigger factor binding domain in biologically homologous complex with eubacterial ribosome reveals its chaperone action.

abstract：:The biological realm has inherited symmetries from the physicochemical realm, but with the increasing complexity at higher phenomenological levels of life, some inherited symmetries are broken while novel symmetries appear. These symmetries are of two types, structural and operational. Biological novelties result from...
