refolding
Restoring original creases
Refolding is the act of folding something again, typically after it has been unfolded or unfolded incorrectly: She spent ten minutes refolding the map.
In biochemistry, refolding refers to the process by which a protein returns to its functional three-dimensional structure after being denatured: The researchers studied protein refolding under various conditions.
