Antifolding activity of hsp60 couples protein import into the mitochondrial matrix with export to the intermembrane space [PDF]
Cytochrome b2 reaches the intermembrane space of mitochondria by transport into the matrix followed by export across the inner membrane. While in the matrix, the protein interacts with hsp60, which arrests its folding prior to export.

Chaperonin GroEL Reassembly: An Effect of Protein Ligands and Solvent Composition
Chaperonin GroEL is a complex oligomeric heat shock protein (Hsp60) assisting the correct folding and assembly of other proteins in the cell. An intriguing question is how GroEL folds itself.
