Proteins that prevent inappropriate folding of newly synthesized proteins are called:
A)chaperones.
B)enzymes.
C)polymerases.
D)ribosomes.
E)synthetases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins that prevent inappropriate folding of newly synthesized proteins are called chaperones. Chaperones are involved in protein folding, transport, assembly, and degradation. They help in maintaining the correct three-dimensional structure of proteins, thereby preventing the formation of non-functional or misfolded proteins.
