Tide Metaphor & Protein Misfolding Lecture

Flashcards cover the sequence of events: shoreline impact, beach closures, protein misfolding, snowball effect, and aggregate formation.

What immediate action is taken when the metaphorical “tide” hits the shores?

Beaches are closed down to prevent further damage.

What happens to proteins in the waste during this process?

They begin to fold up and shift, becoming mis-shaped.

How does the misfolding of proteins progress over time?

It snowballs outward, affecting more proteins.

What do the misfolded proteins eventually create?

Large aggregated pieces (protein clumps).
