Abstract excerpt
Misfolding of the prion protein is linked to multiple neurodegenerative diseases. A better understanding of the process requires the identification and structural characterization of intermediate conformations via which misfolding proceeds. In this study, three conserved aromatic residues (Tyr168, Phe174, and Tyr217) located in the C-terminal domain of mouse PrP (wt moPrP) were mutated to Ala. The resultant...
