Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the human prion proteins lead to amino acid substitutions by the conversion of PrPC to PrPSc and amyloid formation, resulting in prion diseases such as familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease and fatal familial insomnia. Cation-π interaction is a non-covalent binding force that plays a significant role in protein stability. Here, we employ a novel approach by...
