Abstract excerpt
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful experimental tool for obtaining information on three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins at atomic resolution. In inherited forms of prion diseases, misfolding of cellular prion protein, PrPC, into its pathological form, PrPSc, is caused by mutations in the human prion protein gene (PRNP). Understanding of the earliest stages of the conformational...
