- The protein folding process is the process in which polypeptides fold into a functional three-dimensional structure from a random coil
- Each protein is initially an unfolded strand of amino acids. The polypeptide lacks any sort of structure until the amino acids react with each other to form a specific three-dimensional structure
- The specific amino acid sequence determines what role within the body the protein will play. The protein initially looks like a loose string lying on the ground undone but once folded it looks similar to a coiled spring
- When proteins fail to hold their structure the protein becomes inactive. It is believed that many diseases are a result of an accumulation of incorrect protein folding
