Abstract excerpt
Prion diseases result from the accumulation of a misfolded isoform (PrP(Sc)) of the normal host prion protein (PrP(C)). PrP(Sc) propagates by templating its conformation onto resident PrP(C) to generate new PrP(Sc). Although the nature of the PrP(Sc)-PrP(C) complex is unresolved, certain segments...
