N-Terminal Helix-Cap in α-Helix 2 Modulates β-State Misfolding in Rabbit and Hamster Prion Proteins

Susceptibility of a particular species to prion disease is affected by small differences in the sequence of PrP and correlates with the propensity of its PrP to assume the β-state. A helix-cap motif in the β2−α2-loop of native α-helical rabbit PrP, a resistant species, contains sequence differences...
