noun

シャペロン、分子シャペロン

A protein that assists the non-covalent folding/unfolding and the assembly/disassembly of other macromolecular structures, but does not occur in these structures when the latter are performing their normal biological functions.

Examples :

"In the cell, chaperones help proteins fold correctly into their working shapes, ensuring they can perform their jobs properly, but they aren't a permanent part of the finished protein itself. "

細胞内では、シャペロンはタンパク質が正しく機能する形状に折りたたまれるのを助け、それらが適切に仕事を行えるようにしますが、完成したタンパク質自体の恒久的な部分ではありません。
