Abstract excerpt
In humans, familial forms of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE; "prion diseases") have been shown to segregate with the exchange of individual amino acids in the prion protein (PrP) sequence. We used the NMR structure of the globular domain of mouse PrP in the cellular form (PrP(C)) as a starting point for investigations by long-time molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at ambient temperature of...
