Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
