The ultrastructure of infectious L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions constrains molecular models

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a prion disease of cattle that is caused by the misfolding of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into an infectious conformation (PrP(Sc)). PrP(C) is a predominantly α-helical membrane protein that misfolds into a β-sheet rich, infectious state, which has a...
