Which consequence results when polypeptide folding misdirects molecular chaperones?

💡 Explanation

Increased misfolding activates degradation pathways; however, if the **hydrophobic effect** causes misdirected assembly, the probability folding traps aggregation increases; therefore insoluble amyloid structures become more prevalent, rather than being degraded.
