Protein Synthesis & Folding

Mechanisms of Protein Misfolding

Building proteins within the cell is a complex process involving post-translational modification (PTM) and protein folding. Because of the critical role proteins play, incorrect folding can lead to devastating consequences. Understanding the mechanisms involved in protein misfolding will lead to the development of much needed therapeutics against amyloid disease.For example, Enzo has a number of assay kits and reagents directed at monitoring the delicate balance of protein synthesis, folding, and degradation.
