Which is capable of properly refolding an improperly refolded protein molecule?
A) Proteasome
B) Proteome
C) Chaperone
D) Polyribosome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chaperones are specialized proteins that help in the proper folding of other proteins by providing a favorable microenvironment for the folding process. They act as folding assistants by preventing aggregation, erroneous folding, and degradation of misfolded proteins, thus ensuring the correct conformation of proteins. Other listed options such as proteasomes, proteome, and polyribosomes are involved in protein degradation, expression, and synthesis, respectively, and cannot refold a misfolded protein.
