Pharmacological inactivation of the prion protein by targeting a folding intermediate

Spagnolli, Massignan, Astolfi et al. design a new drug discovery approach, termed Pharmacological Protein Inactivation by Folding Intermediate Targeting, in which folding intermediates of disease-causing proteins are targeted. They test it on the cellular prion protein, identifying ligands stabilizi...

Description
Summary:Spagnolli, Massignan, Astolfi et al. design a new drug discovery approach, termed Pharmacological Protein Inactivation by Folding Intermediate Targeting, in which folding intermediates of disease-causing proteins are targeted. They test it on the cellular prion protein, identifying ligands stabilizing a folding intermediate and consequently promoting its degradation by the cellular quality control machinery.
