Abstract
Proteins participate in almost every cell physiological function, and to do so, they need to reach a state that allows its function by folding and/or exposing surfaces of interactions. Spontaneous folding in the cell is in general hindered by its crowded and viscous environment, which favors misfolding and nonspecific and deleterious self-interactions. To overcome this, cells have a system, in which Hsp70 and Hsp90 play a central role to aid protein folding and avoid misfolding. The topics of this review include the biophysical tools used for monitoring protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions and also some important results related to the study of molecular chaperones and heat shock proteins (Hsp), with a focus on the Hsp70/Hsp90 network. The biophysical tools and their use to probe the conformation and interaction of Hsp70 and Hsp90 are briefly reviewed.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
