Proposed solution(s)

Clarify the definitions of unfolded/misfolded protein binding and add chaperone activity as a synonym to both of the terms. Also add ‘de novo’ synonym to ‘unfolded protein binding’.

Reinstate chaperone activity as a function for a protein that folds/stabilises other proteins. Transport etc functions need to be removed from the original definition.
