A survey and a molecular dynamics study on the (central) hydrophobic region of prion proteins [PDF]

Curr Pharm Biotechnol 2014 Nov;15(11) pp:1026-1048, 2014
Prion diseases are invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and animals. Unlike most other amyloid forming neurodegenerative diseases, these can be highly infectious. Prion diseases occur in a variety of species. They include the fatal human neurodegenerative diseases Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI),
