One of the most puzzling aspects of the prion diseases is the intricate relationship between prion strains and interspecies transmissibility barriers. Previously we have shown that certain fundamental aspects of mammalian prion propagation, including the strain phenomenon and species barriers, can be reproduced in vitro in seeded fibrillization of the Y145Stop prion protein variant. Here, we use solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to gain atomic level insight into the structural ...[more]
