Which outcome occurs when a protein misfolds in vivo?

💡 Explanation

Aggregation occurs because protein misfolding triggers chaperone activity intended for refolding. These chaperones prevent aggregation via hydrophobic shielding, therefore, refolding is attempted, rather than immediate degradation or normal cellular processes if the folding was correct.
