Abstract excerpt
The three-dimensional coordinates from a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-averaged structure containing residues 121-226 of mouse prion were used as the starting geometry for MD of prion either with or without glycan in both mutant and wild-type forms. The following mutants were studied: Asp-178 to Asn, Thr-183 to Ala, Phe-198 to Ser, Glu-200 to Lys, and Gln-217 to Arg. NMR data vs structural models were compared...
