pharmacology | In human variant CreutzfeldtJakob disease, up to 90% of total prion protein present in the brain resists degradation with thermolysin, whereas only ?15% of this material resists digestion by proteinase K. Detection of proteinase K-sensitive isoforms of disease-related prion protein using thermolysin should be useful for improving diagnostic sensitivity in human prion diseases | Parengyodontium album |

prion protein + H2O | for mouse RML prions, the majority of proteinase K-sensitive disease-related prion protein isoforms do not appear to contribute significantly to infectivity. In human variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, up to 90% of total prion protein present in the brain resists degradation with thermolysin, whereas only 15% of this material resists digestion by proteinase K | Parengyodontium album | ? | - |
