A newly made amino acid chain folds into a distinctive shape depending on the positioning of hydrophobic amino acids, which like to cluster together away from the cell's watery cytoplasm, leaving hydrophiles to form the protein's surface.

刚合成好的胺基酸长链，会根据疏水性胺基酸的分布位置，摺叠成蛋白质的独特形状：疏水性胺基酸彼此向内聚拢，避免接触到富含水的细胞质环境；亲水性胺基酸则向外翻出，构成蛋白质的表面。
