Abstract excerpt
We need to understand the underlying factors that promote or reverse the amyloid-type structure of the prion protein (PrP). In an earlier study, we showed that mutations within the first beta strand can extend the short beta sheet in the normal protein into a larger sheet at neutral pH. To determ...
