Mechanisms for curing yeast prions
Prions are infectious proteins that self-propagate by changing from their normal folded conformation to a misfolded conformation. The misfolded conformation, which is typically rich in β-sheet, serves as a template to convert the prion protein into its misfolded conformation. In yeast, the...
