In this paper I attempt to study the notion of "folding of a semiotic continuum" in a direction of a possible application to the biological processes (the process of protein folding). More specifically, the process of obtaining protein structures (protein folding) is compared in this paper to the folding of a semiotic continuum. Consequently, peptide chain is presented as a continuous line potential to be formed (folded) in order to create functional units. The functional units are protein structures having certain function in the cell or organism (semiotic agents). Moreover, protein folding is analyzed in terms of tension between syntax and semantics
