Resistance to proteolytic digestion has long been considered a defining trait of prions in tissues of organisms suffering from transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Detection of proteinase K-resistant prion protein (PrP(Sc)) still represents the diagnostic gold standard for prion diseases in hu...
