The main function of chaperones is to help in which of the following?: (A) Protein synthesis, (B) Protein degradation, (C) Protein folding, (D) Protein denaturation
Answer is C. Chaperones help to produce the correct spatial arrangement. Chaperones attach to nascent polypeptide chains and prevent wrong foldings, so that folding is allowed only in correct direction. Ref: Textbook of Biochemistry By DM Vasudevan, 5th Edition, Page 434.
