The elegance and importance of proper protein folding and assembly cannot be overstated.  Simple electrostatic interactions are fully responsible for long peptide chains becoming giant, globular, functional proteins.  Research and discuss two examples of improper protein folding.  What is the cause of each malformed protein? What is the consequence of this deformity?  What are potential treatment options, and how do they address and remedy the problem?

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
