Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that the protease-resistant and neurotoxic prion peptide fragment PrP[106-126] of human PrP incorporates into lipid bilayer membranes to form heterogeneous ion channels, one of which is a Cu(2+)-sensitive fast cation channel. To investigate the role of PrP[106-126]'s hydr...
