← ScienceWhich outcome concerning protein folding arises when chaperonin cage dimensions constrain conformational entropy?
A)Increased likelihood of correct folding✓
B)Decreased reaction kinetic rate
C)Enhanced misfolding and aggregation
D)Reduced post-translational modification
💡 Explanation
Confinement reduces the accessible conformers; therefore, the folding funnel is constricted. This steers the polypeptide chain towards the native state favoring proper folding via entropic restriction rather than promoting aggregation, because incorrect conformations are disfavored.
