What is folding?
Folding is the process of folding proteins to see why, and how they fold in order to cure diseases. When these proteins fold, they sometimes do not fold correctly, causing diseases such as Alzheimer’s. One of the outcomes of this project is to hopefully create synthetic polymmers to cary out the same processes as the proteins, but do them with nano-technology instead of using the diseased protein. Basically, proteins are folded, then observed, and then artificially recreated.
