Protease-Sensitive Conformers in Broad Spectrum of Distinct PrP(Sc) Structures in Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Are Indicator of Progression Rate

The origin, range, and structure of prions causing the most common human prion disease, sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), are largely unknown. To investigate the molecular mechanism responsible for the broad phenotypic variability of sCJD, we analyzed the conformational characteristics of p...
