Investigation on the conformational conversion of human prion protein by molecular dynamics simulation
Conformational conversion of normal α-rich cellular prion protein PrP^C to its oligomeric β-rich isoform PrP^Sc can lead to fatal prion diseases. Despite numerous studies, the underlying mechanism for the β-enrichment during the conversion still remains elusive. In this molecular dynamics (MD) study...
