Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of fatal neurodegenerative prion diseases is closely associated with the conversion of α-helix-rich cellular prion protein into β-sheet-rich scrapie form. Pathogenic point mutations of prion proteins usually promote the conformational conversion and trigger inherited prion diseases. The G131V mutation of human prion protein (HuPrP) was identified to be involved in Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker...
