The following is not true about heatshock proteins a are fou

The following is not true about heat-shock proteins:

a) are found in greater abundance in cells under thermal stress

b) are harvested by heat shocking the cells and collecting the precipitate

c) are important in protein folding

d) are important in protecting the cells from the impact of stressful environments

Solution

Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) are a family of proteins that are produced by cells in response to exposure to stressfull condition hence also refered as stress protiens.

HSP can be triggered by exposure to different kinds of environmental stress conditions such as infection,inflammation,exposure to toxins ,ultra violet light hence,

option a) is true

Heat Stock Protiens play an important role in protein - protien interaction such as folding and function as intracellular chaperons for other proteins hence

option c) is true

Protein folding and unfolding ,provides thermotolerance to cell on exposure to heat stress hence

option d) is true

so, option which is not true about Heat Stock Protein is

option b) is not true
