Abstract

Molecular chaperones are essential for maintaining protein homeostasis within cells. This article explores their function in assisting protein folding and preventing aggregation, which is crucial for cellular health. Our study provides insights into the mechanisms by which chaperones facilitate proper protein conformation, highlighting their potential therapeutic applications in diseases characterized by protein misfolding.
