Structural Consequences of Copper Binding to the Prion Protein
Prion, or PrP<sup>Sc</sup>, is the pathological isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrP<sup>C</sup>) and it is the etiological agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) affecting humans and animal species. The most relevant function of PrP<sup>C</su...
