Pharmacological chaperones improve folding of destabilized Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and human disease-linked α-galactosidase A (α-GAL) by biasing the kinetic partitioning between folding, aggregation, and degradation. Chaperoning spares DHFR from aggregation and α-GAL from degradation.
