Conformational pH dependence of intermediate states during oligomerization of the human prion protein.

Intermediate states are key to understanding the molecular mechanisms governing protein misfolding. The human prion protein (PrP) can follow various misfolding pathways, and forms a soluble beta-sheet-rich oligomer under acidic, mildly denaturing, high salt conditions. Here we describe a fast confor...
