Scientists using sophisticated imaging techniques have observed a molecular protein folding process that may help medical researchers understand and treat diseases such as Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and cancer. The study verifies a process that scientists knew existed but with a mechanism they had never been able to observe, according to researchers.
