MCQ on Molecular Chaperones

Molecular chaperones are proteins that assist in the proper folding, assembly, and stabilization of other proteins. They prevent misfolding and aggregation, guide proteins to their functional conformation, and can help refold or target damaged proteins for degradation. This is an MCQ on Protein Chaperones (MCQ on Molecular Chaperones).
