Document Summary
For a protein to be functional, it has to fold; it has to acquire the correct shape. For a primary structure to be a tertiary structure (native conformation), you need a primary sequence. A protein required for the proper folding and/or assembly of another protein or protein complex. Interacts with and stabilizes non-native forms of protein. Not part of the final assembly of protein(s) Hsp is a chaperone because they help in protein folding. The human genome encodes for hundreds of different chaperones. Heat shock protein is a type of chaperone. Heat shock proteins helps facilitate protein folding. Proteins fold very fast and don"t check every possible conformation. Collapse in the middle of the protein, away from water. It is too complicated but happens within milliseconds in our cells. Temperature ph anything that can mess up bonding. When there are two proteins, then aggregation occurs. Retinal is not coded by a gene.
