Prion Biology

A Subject Collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology

Herausgeber: Prusiner, Stanley B

Beschreibung

Prions are infectious proteins responsible for diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and "mad cow" disease. They are misfolded versions of normal proteins that replicate by converting their normal cellular counterparts into abnormal prion proteins that disrupt cell function and can be transmitted to other cells and individuals. This book examines our under-standing of their structure, biochemistry, and pathophysiology.
