Technical Abstract:
The nucleation-polymerization and template assistance models for conversion of the normal cellular form of the prion protein, PrP**C, to the disease associated, protease resistant conformation, PrP**d, will be discussed. Attention will be paid to a recent model of PrP**d fibril structure, the implications such a conformation has on the inactivation of prion infectivity, and the methods to detect inactivation.
