What is the function of Chaperonins?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Conformation prediction Protein folding Correct Complex & slow conformation stability Stability analysis

Explanation

Chaperonins like GroEL-GroES form barrel-shaped ATP-dependent chambers encapsulating nascent or misfolded polypeptides. They prevent aggregation and provide isolated environment facilitating proper folding to native conformation, essential under cellular stress conditions and heat shock.
