Evolutionary Implications of Metal Binding Features in Different Species’ Prion Protein: An Inorganic Point of View
Prion disorders are a group of fatal neurodegenerative conditions of mammals. The key molecular event in the pathogenesis of such diseases is the conformational conversion of prion protein, PrP(C), into a misfolded form rich in β-sheet structure, PrP(Sc), but the detailed mechanistic aspects of prio...
