Abstract excerpt
A mutant of mouse prion protein (PrPC) carrying a deletion of residues 114-121 (PrPDelta114-121) has previously been described to lack convertibility into the scrapie-associated isoform of PrP (PrPSc) and to exhibit a dominant-negative effect on the conversion of wild-type PrPC into PrPSc in living cells. Here we report the characterization of recombinantly expressed PrPDelta114-121 by Fourier-transformation...
