Proteins Known as ________ Function to Refold Partially Denatured Proteins

Question

Proteins known as ________ function to refold partially denatured proteins.
A) histones
B) chaperonins
C) HU proteins
D) histones and chaperonins

Accepted Answer

Chaperonins are proteins that help in the refolding of partially denatured proteins by providing a protected environment for the protein to fold correctly. Histones are proteins that are involved in the packaging of DNA in the nucleus, and HU proteins are involved in DNA compaction in bacteria. Hence, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
