Definition
English
:
A
family
of multisubunit protein complexes that form into large cylindrical structures which bind to and encapsulate non-native
proteins
.
Chaperonins
utilize the
energy
of ATP
hydrolysis
to enhance the
efficiency
of
PROTEIN FOLDING
reactions and thereby help
proteins
reach their functional conformation. The
family
of
chaperonins
is split into
GROUP I CHAPERONINS
, and
GROUP II CHAPERONINS
, with each group having its own repertoire of
protein subunits
and subcellular preferences.
