Cofactor and glycosylation preferences for in vitro prion conversion are predominantly determined by strain conformation

Prion diseases are caused by the misfolding of a host-encoded glycoprotein, PrP(C), into a pathogenic conformer, PrP(Sc). Infectious prions can exist as different strains, composed of unique conformations of PrP(Sc) that generate strain-specific biological traits, including distinctive patterns of P...
