Which mechanism dictates protein misfolding during amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?

💡 Explanation

Misfolding happens because a disrupted hydrogen bond network causes incorrect protein conformation, therefore leading to aggregation and toxicity characteristic of ALS, rather than other forces which assist native folding.
