Abstract:
Basic cellular research is a trail. One follows one's nose toward what might be new understanding. When that leads to a need to employ unfamiliar or novel technology, it's both exciting and very worthwhile to form collaborations. Our early studies of chaperonins support such a philosophy, as detailed in the two stories that follow, written in deep appreciation of recognition by the E.B. Wilson Medal of the American Society for Cell Biology.

Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...
