		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Proteins control nearly all of life&#8217;s functions, but how they self-assemble, or fold, is an unsolved problem in biology. Understanding how folding goes awry could lead to cures for diseases caused by protein misfolding, like Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s.
