Comments "A total of ~250 proteins were reproducibly identified as specifically associated with GroEL at 30°C and 37°C ...Based on quantitative proteomic analysis by SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture) (Ong et al., 2002), [researchers] deduced criteria to assign the ~250 GroEL interactors to the three substrate classes found in the initial set of test proteins...About 250 different proteins interact with GroEL under normal growth conditions of E. coli, consistent with previous estimates (primary sources)."
