Question

What role do chaperonins play in the determination of protein structure?

Answer 1

Chaperonins are part of the 'heat shock' family of proteins, or chaperones. They play a key role in the correct 3D folding of proteins. There is a good site about these, and the way they function, at:

Answer 2

No role play. Chaperonins prevents aggregation of unfolded polypeptie chains.
