Heat shock proteins (HSPs) were discovered as polypeptides induced by stress that can be found in all kingdoms of cellular organisms. Their functions were, a first enigmatic and these proteins were thus classified by molecular weight, as in-Hsp27, Hsp70, Hsp90, Hsp110. More recently, each of these s...
