    Protein folding in the cell was originally assumed to be a spontaneous process, based on Anfinsen's discovery that purified proteins can fold on their own after removal from denaturant. Consequently cell biologists showed little interest in the protein folding process. This changed only in the mid and late 1980s, when the chaperone story began to unfold. As a result, we now know that in vivo, protein folding requires assistance by a complex machinery of molecular chaperones. To ensure efficient folding, members of different chaperone classes receive the nascent protein chain emerging from the ribosome and guide it along an ordered pathway toward the native state. I was fortunate to contribute to these developments early on. In this short essay, I will describe some of the critical steps leading to the current concept of protein folding as a highly organized cellular process

    I would like to thank Prof. Dr. F.-Ulrich Hartl for giving me the opportunity to work in his laboratory and for his optimism and his creative input during the entire course of my project. I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Stephanie Etchells and Dr. Andreas Bracher. Many obstacles have been overcome by their support. Their questions and ideas shaped the project significantly. I would like to thank Dr. Markus Stemp who had started the project and who introduced me into many of the necessary skills and techniques. I would like to thank my colleagues in the lab for creating a unique working atmosphere and for many shared moments that I will never forget. I would like to thank Dr. Birgitta Beatrix and Prof. Dr. Don Lamb for the discussions during the TAC meetings that provided helpful external input. I would like to thank the members of my PhD committee PD Dr. Dr. Konstanze Winklhofer, P

    F.-Ulrich Hartl and Arthur Horwich will share this year's Lasker Basic Medical Science Award for the discovery of the cell's protein-folding machinery, exemplified by cage-like structures that convert newly synthesized proteins into their biologically active forms. Their fundamental findings reveal mechanisms that operate in normal physiologic processes and help to explain the problems that arise in diseases of protein folding
