Which of the following statements about protein folding is INCORRECT?
A) the Hsp70 proteins bind to hydrophilic regions of the protein, thus preventing aggregation
B) the Hsp60 proteins are also known as chaperonins
C) the GroEL protein provides an environment free from possibility of aggregation
D) the GroES protein serves as the cap for GroEL
E) all are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hsp70 proteins actually bind to hydrophobic regions of the protein, while the Hsp60 proteins (chaperonins) provide an environment free from possible aggregation. The GroEL protein forms a cylinder-shaped structure and the GroES protein serves as the cap to this cylinder, allowing for proper folding of the protein inside.
