Abstract excerpt
Pathogenesis studies have revealed that H187R mutation of human prion protein (huPrP) is related to GSS type of TSE diseases. Its pathogenic mechanism is still unclear. We here studied the globular domain of this mutant protein by molecular dynamics simulations. Compared to the wide-type protein, the mutant has similar dynamics and stability profiles in our simulation. Conformational rearrangements are...
