[HTML][HTML] Multiple chaperonins in bacteria—novel functions and non-canonical behaviors

CMS Kumar, SC Mande, G Mahajan - Cell Stress and Chaperones, 2015 - Elsevier
Chaperonins are a class of molecular chaperones that assemble into a large double ring
architecture with each ring constituting seven to nine subunits and enclosing a cavity for …

Intracellular calcium stores mediate metaplasticity at hippocampal dendritic spines

G Mahajan, S Nadkarni - The Journal of physiology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
