Question

What is the term used for a protein molecule that assists in the proper folding of other proteins?
A) tertiary protein
B) chaperonin
C) enzyme protein
D) renaturing protein
E) denaturing protein

Accepted Answer

A chaperonin is a type of protein molecule that assists in the proper folding of other proteins. It does so by providing an isolated environment for the folding process to occur, and by preventing the newly synthesized protein from aggregating with other proteins before it has had the chance to fold properly.
