Cell mechanisms that control protein structure. Alterations in protein structure during folding can result in anomalous interactions with inner membranes through the exposition of hydrophobic surfaces. Cellular mechanisms, such as proteasome activity and autophagy, could reduce toxic effects of these molecules, and ultimately prevent cell damage. Likewise, these processes occur during physiological protein turnover (Adapted from [6]).
