chaperone

Examples of chaperone in the following topics:

• Denaturation and Protein Folding

  • Chaperone proteins (or chaperonins) are helper proteins that provide favorable conditions for protein folding to take place.

• Protein Folding, Modification, and Targeting

  • Many proteins fold spontaneously, but some proteins require helper molecules, called chaperones, to prevent them from aggregating during the complicated process of folding.
