Zn(II) binding causes interdomain changes in the structure and flexibility of the human prion protein
The cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) is a mainly α-helical 208-residue protein located in the pre- and postsynaptic membranes. For unknown reasons, PrP(C) can undergo a structural transition into a toxic, β-sheet rich scrapie isoform (PrP(Sc)) that is responsible for transmissible spongiform encephal...
