Explain how protein folding is related to diseases such as Alzheimer’s or prion disorders.

Protein Folding and Its Link to Diseases Like Alzheimer’s and Prion Disorders Introduction Proteins must fold into specific three-dimensional shapes to function properly. Protein folding is a complex process guided by amino acid sequences and assisted by cellular machinery. When proteins fold incorrectly, they can lose function or become harmful. Misfolded proteins are associated with
