Development and structural determination of an anti-PrP(C) aptamer that blocks pathological conformational conversion of prion protein

Prion diseases comprise a fatal neuropathy caused by the conversion of prion protein from a cellular (PrP(C)) to a pathological (PrP(Sc)) isoform. Previously, we obtained an RNA aptamer, r(GGAGGAGGAGGA) (R12), that folds into a unique G-quadruplex. The R12 homodimer binds to a PrP(C) molecule, inhib...
