schmoose 是可数名词，指一种微蛋白；句子的谓语是复数 are，主语指多种畸形微蛋白，因此要用复数形式 schmooses，不能保留单数形式。改动仅限这一处，句意不变。

表示这种由线粒体产生的脑微蛋白时，拼作 schmoose；schmooze 是另一个词，意思是闲聊。这里谈的是蛋白质，只能用 schmoose，不能受同音词干扰。
两词读音几乎一样（都是 /ʃmuːz/），但 schmoose 只作名词，指线粒体产生的一种脑内微蛋白，几乎只出现在阿尔茨海默症研究的专业文献里；schmooze 是日常口语里常用的动词或名词，指为了拉关系而闲聊、套近乎。看到“与……聊天、社交”的语境就选 schmooze，看到蛋白质、线粒体、疾病机制的语境才选 schmoose，二者不能互换。
