Protein Folding
Protein folding is a process in which a protein molecule takes on its 3D structure from its linear amino acid sequence. This structure is essential for proteins to function correctly, because it determines how the molecule interacts with other molecules and binds to small molecules, like hormones and drugs. Protein folding is a crucial process in biology, and is relevant to many areas in medicine and biotechnology. Protein folding is studied to understand disease, develop drugs, and design enzymes.
