Heat Shock Proteins & Protein Folding: How HSP Helps

Message
[QUOTE="jim mcnamara, post: 5570437, member: 35824"] HSP's do two "things": 1. chaperone newly synthesized proteins to allow correct folding 2. help stress damaged proteins return to the correct folded state. so, we can say they are very targeted and work only with certain proteins in defined states of disarray. They are increased in number post-stress events. So particular HSP's are active only for certain protein species, and only under certain circumstances. They are not mass intruders into cytoplasm, attacking any and every wandering protein. Try: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_shock_protein[/URL] [/QUOTE]
