HSP90 are abundant molecular chaperones, assisting the folding of several hundred client proteins, including substrates involved in tumor growth or neurodegenerative diseases. A complex set of large ATP-driven structural changes occurs during HSP90 functional cycle. However, the existence of such structural rearrangements in apo HSP90 has remained unclear.

Glycolysis plays a fundamental role in energy production and metabolic homeostasis. The intracellular [adenosine triphosphate]/[adenosine diphosphate] ([ATP]/[ADP]) ratio controls glycolytic flux; however, the regulatory mechanism underlying reactions catalyzed by individual glycolytic enzymes enabling flux adaptation remains incompletely understood. Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) catalyzes the reversible phosphotransfer reaction, which directly produces ATP in a near-equilibrium step of glycolysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge about sun protection and the recommendations given in a population of non-dermatologists physicians involved in the care of patients at high risk of skin cancer.
