The native state of prion protein (PrP) directly inhibits formation of PrP-amyloid fibrils in vitro
The conversion of globular proteins into amyloid fibrils is associated with a wide variety of human diseases. One example is the prion protein (PrP), which adopts an α-helical structure in the native state but its amyloid form is implicated in the pathogenesis of prion diseases. Previous evidence ha...
