In alzheimer's disease patients, amyloid plaques develop that contain misfolded beta-amyloid proteins. based on this observation
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Based on this observation you would predict that the MISFOLDED BETA AMYLOID PROTEINS COULD NOT BE REFOLDED BY THE CHAPERONE PROTEINS.
Chaperon proteins are proteins which assist newly formed proteins to form correctly. A protein that is already mis-folded can not be refolded by the chaperone proteins.

Today in class, a student asked whether the positive charge of the presequence of proteins being imported into the mitochondria
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle through channels formed by membrane proteins present in its inner and outer membranes.

Explanation:

All the biological membranes have lipid bilayer with the non-polar core that does not allow entry of charged and large substances. Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and the unfolded proteins bind to the chaperons that deliver them to the receptors present in the outer mitochondrial membrane.

The receptor moves the protein to the membrane channels formed by integral membrane proteins of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. The proteins enter the intermembrane space and are targeted to the inner membrane through channels while chaperons are left outside only.
