Abstract excerpt
Many neurodegenerative diseases feature misfolded proteins that propagate via templated conversion of natively folded molecules. However, crucial questions about how such prion-like conversion occurs and what drives it remain unsolved, partly because technical challenges have prevented direct observation of conversion for any protein. We observed prion-like conversion in single molecules of superoxide dismutase-1...
