During protein folding, 'Chaperone' proteins help by:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Preventing improper folding and aggregation of proteins
Chaperones bind to partially folded or unfolded polypeptide chains. They ensure that the protein reaches its correct 3D conformation, which is essential for its biological activity.
