Z_2_20 — Prion Molecular Biology

At the molecular level, prion diseases arise from the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein (PrPᶜ) into a misfolded, aggregation-prone conformer (PrPˢᶜ) through a process that remains one of the most extraordin

Z_2_08 — Prion Genetics and Misfolded Proteins

Prions are infectious agents composed entirely of misfolded protein — the only known pathogen that contains no nucleic acid (no DNA, no RNA). The protein-only hypothesis (Stanley Prusiner, 1982 — Nobel Prize 1997) states

Z_2_17 — Prion Biology: Self-Propagating Protein Misfolding and Transmissible Encephalopathies

Prions — proteinaceous infectious particles lacking nucleic acid — represent a paradigm-shattering departure from the central dogma that biological information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. The protein-only hypothesi

Z_4_18 — Protein Misfolding and Prion Diseases

Prion diseases — transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) — are fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by the misfolding and self-propagating aggregation of a normal cellular protein (PrPᶜ) into a pathological
