Fig 3. The Dynamic Conformational Cycle of the GroEL C-Termini.

Schematic representation of the GroE nucleotide cycle emphasizing the C-terminal conformational dynamics/cycle. The conformational cycle of the C-terminal tails is indicated throughout the group I chaperonin nucleotide cycle. States with the C-termini rendered as dashes are hypothetical while those rendered with solid lines represent rings contained in our simulations.
