Prion-derived copper-binding peptide fragments catalyze the generation of superoxide anion in the presence of aromatic monoamines
Objectives: Studies have proposed two opposing roles for copper-bound forms of prion protein (PrP) as an anti-oxidant supporting the neuronal functions and as a pro-oxidant leading to neurodegenerative process involving the generation of reactive oxygen species. The aim of this study is to test the...
