Structural insight into conformational change in prion protein by breakage of electrostatic network around H187 due to its protonation

A conformational change from normal prion protein(PrP(C)) to abnormal prion protein(PrP(SC)) induces fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Acidic pH is well-known factors involved in the conformational change. Because the protonation of H187 is strongly linked to the change in PrP stability, we examined...
