Cellular "factories" ensure error-free protein folding
Folding helpers organize themselves into specialized units in our cells Piecework: Biologists have discovered that small factories exist in our cells where amino acid chains are folded into functional proteins like an assembly line. According to the researchers, the already known helper proteins, which transform the newly produced proteins into their 3D form, are organized into previously unknown specialized units: droplet-like condensates. If these "factories" are missing, t
