The newly formed protein must be FOLDED correctly into its own specific three-dimensional shape otherwise it represents a ‘potential catastrophe’

To sidestep this potential disaster virtually every cell throughout the biological realm relies on a family of proteins called CHAPERONES to encourage efficient and accurate protein folding

We could say the CHAPERONES were the Origami experts

It is thought that MAD COW DISEASE is caused by misfolding proteins

The Art of Folding

In 1999, Dr. Günter Blobel was awarded the Nobel prize for discovering that many proteins have a signal sequence, (a short amino acid sequence) at one end. This sequence functions like a postal code for the recipient site, either inside or outside the cell

The protein has been manufactured to meet a need, either inside the cell or elsewhere in the body. But how does this newly formed protein know where to go?
