Similar folds with different stabilization mechanisms: the cases of prion and doppel proteins

Background Protein misfolding is the main cause of a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals. In particular, in Prion-related diseases the normal cellular form of the Prion Protein PrP (PrPC) is converted into the infectious PrPScthrough a conformational process during which...
