title: Periplasmic chaperones--new structural and functional insights.
abstract: Although chaperones exist in the periplasmic compartment of Gram-negative bacterial cells, how they function is not well understood. New intriguing functional insights are provided by the solved crystal structure of the periplasmic chaperone SurA.
