Molecular Dynamics Simulations Capture the Misfolding of the Bovine Prion Protein at Acidic pH
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that is transmissible to humans and that is currently incurable. BSE is caused by the prion protein (PrP), which adopts two conformers; PrP(C) is the native innocuous form, which is α-helix rich; and PrP...
