Abstract excerpt
Human prion disease, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSEs), is caused by the conformational conversion of the normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) into the scrapie form (PrPSc). Pathogenic point mutations of prion proteins typically facilitate conformational conversion and lead to inherited prion diseases. A previous study has demonstrated that the pathogenic G131V mutation of human prion...
