Protein A will fold into its native state only when protein B is also present in the solution. However, protein B can fold itself into native confirmation without the presence of protein A. Which of the following is true?(a) Protein B serves as precursor for protein A(b) Protein B serves as molecular chaperon for protein A(c) Protein B serves as ligand for protein A(d) Protein B serves as structural motif for protein A |

Answer» Correct answer is (b) Protein B serves as molecular chaperon for protein A The explanation is: Not all proteins fold spontaneously as they are synthesized in the cell. Folding for many proteins is facilitated by the action of specialized proteins known as molecular chaperons. |
