Single-molecule evidence of Entropic Pulling by Hsp70 chaperones
V. Rukes, M. E. Rebeaud, L. Perrin, P. De Los Rios, C. Cao
This study uses single-molecule nanopore experiments to demonstrate Hsp70 chaperones exert forces equivalent to 46 pN to extract trapped polypeptides, supporting the Entropic Pulling mechanism.
