Protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils is linked to multiple neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. A better understanding of the way these aggregates form is vital for the development of drugs. A large detriment to amyloid research is the ability of amyloidogenic proteins to spontaneously aggregate into multiple structurally distinct fibrils (strains) with different stability and seeding properties. In this work we show that prion proteins ...[more]
