Abstract excerpt
The development of fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) is associated with the conformational conversion of the normal cellular prion protein, PrP(C), into its pathogenic isoform, PrP(Sc). The present study revealed the structural consequences that induce the conversion of PrP(C)→ PrP(Sc) upon mutation V210I linked with genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) using the classical molecular...
