Mechanical Deformation Mechanisms and Properties of Prion Fibrils Probed by Atomistic Simulations
Abstract Prion fibrils, which are a hallmark for neurodegenerative diseases, have recently been found to exhibit the structural diversity that governs disease pathology. Despite our recent finding concerning the role of the disease-specific structure of prion fibrils in determining their elastic pro...
