A Structural and Functional Comparison Between Infectious and Non-Infectious Autocatalytic Recombinant PrP Conformers

Infectious prions contain a self-propagating, misfolded conformer of the prion protein termed PrP(Sc). A critical prediction of the protein-only hypothesis is that autocatalytic PrP(Sc) molecules should be infectious. However, some autocatalytic recombinant PrP(Sc) molecules have low or undetectable...
