Question
What is the function of Chaperonins?
Explanation
Chaperonins like GroEL-GroES form barrel-shaped oligomeric chambers providing isolated environment for polypeptide folding. ATP-driven conformational changes encapsulate misfolded intermediates, preventing aggregation and promoting correct native structure acquisition without information transfer.
