"This book is highly recommended for academic libraries and for those special or industrial libraries that support a program in microbiology. Because the clear and logical approach to each protocol can serve as a model experiment that is easily reproduced, this book would be an especially valuable tool for students."-E-Streams (Electronic Reviews of Science and Technology References)

"...an invaluable overview of two main aspects of chaperonin research-purification of chaperonins and their cofactors and assays to monitor folding activity. ...of excellent chapters on more diverse chaperonins, including those from Archaea and the specialized, eukaryotic TRiC complex....The book provides a wealth of explicitly detailed protocols (together with useful troubleshooting notes) for all those working in the field of chaperonins and protein folding or misfolding."...Microbiology Today
