Protein folding – why speed matters

https://www.mpg.de/10559091/protein-folding-why-speed-matters

Proteins are the workhorses of our cells. To fulfil their function, they need to adopt the correct shape. Scientists have now experimentally determined how fast proteins are made and have shown that the right speed is critical for functional folding. Abnormal translation rates lead to protein aggregates, which can cause severe developmental defects in mice, because cells in the brain receive the wrong differentiation signal due to protein stress. These results answer a fundamental question of molecular biology and have far-reaching consequences for neurodegenerative diseases and biotechnology.
