Abstract excerpt
The misfolding of the mammalian prion protein from its α-helix rich cellular isoform to its β-sheet rich infectious isoform is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. The determination of the structural mechanism by which misfolding commences, still remains an unsolved problem. In the current study, native-state hydrogen exchange coupled with mass spectrometry has revealed that the N state of the...
