Universal protein misfolding intermediates can bypass the proteostasis network and remain soluble and less functional

Nissley and co-workers predict protein misfolding into kinetically trapped, entangled conformations that can bypass the proteostasis network to remain soluble but less-functional for long timescales is widespread within the E. coli proteome.
