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

The term used for a protein molecule that assists in the proper folding of other proteins is chaperonin. Chaperonins are a type of molecular chaperones that ensure the correct folding of newly synthesized polypeptide chains into their three-dimensional conformation. Tertiary proteins refer to the three-dimensional structure of a protein, enzyme protein refers to a protein with catalytic activity, renaturing protein refers to the process of restoring a protein's natural conformation after it has been denatured, and denaturing protein refers to the process of unraveling a protein's structure, causing it to lose its biological function.
