Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Protein synthesis has been completed after assemble of amino acid sequences of protein (primary structure). Proteins are functionally active when they become folded (secondary and tertiary structures). In quaternary structure, protein can be associated with other chains of proteins or binds with other nonprotein molecules like vitamins or carbohydrates. Chaperones are proteins, some of them are called as stress or heat shock proteins. Ribosomes assemble newly synthesized proteins guided by chaperones. Chaperone regulates the folding of new protein in a proper shape to prevent from unnecessary association with other proteins.
