Simulation analysis of selective alanine mutation effect on stability of human prion protein.

Abstract excerpt

Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders caused by spongiform degeneration of the brain. Understanding the fundamental mechanism of prion protein aggregation caused by mutations is very crucial to resolve the pathology of prion diseases. To help understand the roles of individual residues on the stability of the human prion protein, the computational method of free energy simulations based on atomistic...
