Mechanisms of Protein Folding and the Unfolded Protein Response.
Proteins have different conformational states according to thermodynamic properties, rates of synthesis and degradation, interaction with chaperones, and posttranslational modifications. Amyloidosis is a protein folding disorder in which unfolded or partially unfolded peptides form fibrils that are rich in β-sheets and capable of self-replication.
