Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: a B1 learner who knows 'protein' and 'folding' can infer it denotes the process by which a protein becomes folded into a shape. Although the concept is scientific and may require domain knowledge for full detail, the basic meaning follows transparently from the constituents and is cross-linguistically paralleled.
Etymology
Protein folding gives a simple picture: imagine a long string of small beads — the protein — that must bend and do the folding to make the right shape, like folding paper. So, 'protein folding' means the process that makes a protein take the right shape to 'work' in the body.
