摘要：

(Graph Presented) The molecular basis for prion infectivity is not yet understood. The NMR spectra of noninfectious and infectious amyloids of the prion-forming domain 218-289 of the fungal prion HET-s are clearly different (see picture) but are indicative for a cross-β arrangement in both cases. The fibrils formed at pH 3 are not infectious because their molecular structure apparently differs substantially from that formed at physiological pH. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
