Proteins responsible to prevent faulty folding of protein is?
Correct Answer: Chaperones
Description: :Proteins must fold to achieve their functional form. Folding can be spontaneous or facilitated by chaperones. Proteins that are defective (for example misfolded) or destined for rapid turnover are marked for destruction by the attachment of chains of a small, highly conserved protein called ubiquitin. Ubiquitinated proteins are rapidly degraded by a cytosolic complex known as the proteasome. Referwnce : Lippincott illustrated reviews of Biochemistry textbook Sixth edition. Page no 807
