Answer:

It folds into a protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The folding of the protein is determined by the properties of the side groups of the amino acids in the chain. The interaction between these side chains is dependent on their charges with hydrophobic groups tending to be nestled inside of the protein while the hydrophilic occupy much of the outside. The folding is guided by chaperones.
