Denaturation:Denaturation occurs when a protein loses its structure and unfolds. This can be caused by high temperatures, extreme pH levels, or certain chemicals.
Chaperones: Chaperones are proteins that assist in the correct folding of other proteins. They help prevent misfolding and aggregation.
Misfolding: Misfolding happens when a protein fails to fold correctly and adopts an abnormal structure. This can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
