Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism involved in early stages of prion protein (PrP) conversion has been investigated using the chip based SPR technology, focusing on PrP interactions with membranes, either in its monomeric, oligomeric or Cu(II)-ions bound forms. We observed a strong interaction between PrP and cell membrane models of different lipid compositions. Circular dichroism tests show that membrane-bound,...
