Many attempts have been made to predict prions from sequence information alone. Despite several unifying features of known prions, such approaches have had only modest success. What are the biochemical and sequence features shared by known prion proteins?
Prions are a complicated genetic and biochemical phenomenon. How does one determine experimentally whether a putative prion protein can form a prion?
Do prions interact with one another, and if so, how? What are the consequences of such cross-talk? |
