Assisted protein folding is mediated by a group of proteins known as chaperons, which of the following statements is incorrectly reperesents chaperon activity;

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. chaperon help to fold, unfolded and partially folded polypeptide chains to disrupt the improper association of exposed hydrophobic segments

  2. All molecular chaperones operate by binding to an unfolded or aggregated protein’s, and molecular chaperon donot requires ATP for their activity

  3. molecular chaperones function to lift folding polypeptides out of the false minima in their folding funnels

  4. molecular chaperones were first described as heat shock proteins (Hsp) because their rate of synthesis is increased at elevated temperatures
