title: Molecular chaperones: clamps for the Clps?
abstract: The Clp/Hsp100 molecular chaperones are unusual in their ability to tease apart protein aggregates and complexes. Recent results make a good case that these chaperones bind substrates via PDZ-like domains; this may reflect a general strategy for manipulating the] assembly state of substrate proteins.
