In examining a protein molecule, you discover that it has not folded properly. Why is this alarming?

This may impact the function of the protein, possibly causing disease or allergies.

This may impact the function of the protein, possibly causing it to replicate multiple times.

This may result in the protein forming bonds with additional amino acids.

This may result in the protein forming bonds with lipids instead of other proteins.

This may results in the protein forming bonds with steroids, thus changing the hormonal function of the cells.
