This response involves changes in the levels of several families of heal shock proteins (Hsps) or molecular chaperones that stabilize protein conformation and function in the face of denaturing stress, including thermal stress, thus providing any of various heat shock proteins that act as molecular chaperones in bacteria, plasmids, mitochondria, and eukaryotic cyotsol.
