Structural Consequences of Copper Binding to the Prion Protein
Prion, or PrP(Sc), is the pathological isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) and it is the etiological agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) affecting humans and animal species. The most relevant function of PrP(C) is its ability to bind copper ions through its flexible N...
