Their structure, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary forms, is crucial for functionality, with molecular chaperones aiding proper folding. Disruption of structure leads to denaturation, impacting activities like enzymatic reactions. Mutations can lead to diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob.
