Which of the following statements concerning protein folding is correct?
A)The GroES protein serves as the cap for GroEL.
B)The Hsp70 proteins bind to hydrophilic regions of the protein,thus preventing aggregation.
C)The Hsp60 proteins are rarely known as chaperonins.
D)The GroEL protein provides an environment that leads to possible aggregation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GroES acts as a cap on the GroEL protein, facilitating proper protein folding.

B, C, and D are incorrect statements. Hsp70 proteins bind to hydrophobic regions of the protein, Hsp60 proteins are commonly known as chaperonins, and GroEL provides an environment that prevents protein aggregation.
