Methionine Oxidation Perturbs the Structural Core of the Prion Protein and Suggests a Generic Misfolding Pathway

Oxidative stress and misfolding of the prion protein (PrP(C)) are fundamental to prion diseases. We have therefore probed the effect of oxidation on the structure and stability of PrP(C). Urea unfolding studies indicate that H(2)O(2) oxidation reduces the thermodynamic stability of PrP(C) by as much...
