It is for this reason that many chaperones, but by no means all, are heat shock proteins because the tendency to aggregate increases as proteins are denatured by stress.
Por esta razón, moitas chaperonas, pero non todas, chámanse tamén proteínas de choque térmico debido a que a tendencia a agregarse se incrementa a medida que as proteínas se desnaturalizan polo estrés térmico.
