Question: Correct protein folding is a critical part of normal cell function and cells have elaborate mechanisms to ensure that proteins do fold correctly. However, when protein folding goes awry, it can result in a disease state such as has been demonstrated in Huntington's disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. In general terms, (1) how do you think that protein folding is involved in these disorders and (2) how does the disease progress in individuals with these disorders?
