Abstract excerpt
Prions are proteins that can exist in two (or more) folding states, a normal or cellular form and a series of infectious or prion forms, which are prone to aggregate. The prion form can induce conversion of the cellular form and so transmit phenotypic effects of this structural rearrangement within and between cells and organisms. The conversion of PrP(C), the mammalian prion glycoprotein, to its prion form,...
