Cellular reticula strictly fold proteins into specific forms

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

A fully assembled biological protein is completely useless if it is not heavily manipulated into a remarkably precise three-dimensional structure. The endoplasmic reticulum actively forces raw chemical chains to tightly fold, massively twist, and rigorously bend into heavily rigid specific shapes. If a protein dares to fold entirely incorrectly, the network aggressively flags it for immediate total destruction.
