"We characterized the interaction of SNAP-25-derived peptides with Hsc70 and CSPα using a combination of biochemical and biophysical techniques, including native-PAGE, binding affinity by fluorescence anisotropy, ATPase-activity of Hsc70, and NMR. We have identified an Hsc70 binding site within SNAP-25 that is likely to represent the site used in the cell to facilitate SNARE complex formation."
