All of the following statements are true about chaperones except that they
Protein folding requires a specialized group of proteins,refered as chaperones. Chaperones are also known as "heat-shock proteins" and "stress proteins" Chaperones bind to the hydrophobic regions of an extended polypeptide and are impoant in keeping the protein unfolded,until its synthesis is completed.
