Enfermedad por priones, encefalopatía espongiforme humana y enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob

The infectious protein or prion (PrPSC) is a transmissible and replicable polypeptide, which arises from an abnormal folding of the PrP protein, by unknown mechanisms and without changes in the primary sequence of its amino acids. Its new spatial disposition arises from the substitution of its alpha...
