Protective V127 prion variant prevents prion disease by interrupting the formation of dimer and fibril from molecular dynamics simulations

Recent studies uncovered a novel protective prion protein variant: V127 variant, which was reported intrinsically resistant to prion conversion and propagation. However, the structural basis of its protective effect is still unknown. To uncover the origin of the protective role of V127 variant, mole...
