The three-dimensional structure of a key complex in chaperone-mediated protein disaggregation, comprising ClpB and DnaK, has been determined using NMR. In addition to providing unique mechanistic insights, the approach promises to elucidate the structural basis for the assembly of elusive dynamic protein machineries in the near future.
