Structural Determinants of the Prion Protein N-Terminus and Its Adducts with Copper Ions
The N-terminus of the prion protein is a large intrinsically disordered region encompassing approximately 125 amino acids. In this paper, we review its structural and functional properties, with a particular emphasis on its binding to copper ions. The latter is exploited by the region’s conformation...
