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

chaperon help to fold, unfolded and partially folded polypeptide chains to disrupt the improper association of exposed hydrophobic segments
All molecular chaperones operate by binding to an unfolded or aggregated protein’s, and molecular chaperon donot requires ATP for their activity
molecular chaperones function to lift folding polypeptides out of the false minima in their folding funnels
molecular chaperones were first described as heat shock proteins (Hsp) because their rate of synthesis is increased at elevated temperatures
