What causes molecules of a particular protein always to fold into the same shape?

Insulin is like any other protein. This goes for all proteins: if the aminoacid sequence is the same, the protein will always fold the same way. we do not exactly how this works, how each protein knows exactly how to fold.. not yet. If there are errors in translation or transcription than the protein will not fold correctly. The body has many ways to identify and get rid of these errors, which are quite common. An example that comes to my mind is the PEST sequence, which, if exposed, has a complementarity with lysosoms, and the protein will be hydrolyzed.
