Molecular chaperones are proteins which its function is to help proteins in their folding process. It helps in folding the newly synthesised protein into correct orientation for their specific functions[1][2].
There are three types of chaperones :
- Folding chaperones: helps in the folding of newly synthesised proteins.
- Holding chaperones: binds to misfolded proteins and transfer them to folding chaperones.
- Unfolding chaperones: unfold misfolded proteins for degradation using proteasome unit during proteostasis[3].
