Microbes and Infectious Disease
... The amino acid sequences for PrPc and PrPsc proteins are identical, only their shapes differ. Cellular PrPc is rich in so-called α-helices (corkscrew-shapes), whereas in scrapie-like PrPsc these helices have been flattened to so-called β-regions. These conformational changes render PrPsc resistant t ...
