Molecular structures and structural dynamics of prion proteins and prions mechanism underlying the resistance to prion diseases /

This monograph is the first easy-to-read-and-understand book on prion proteins' molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and on prions' molecular modelling (MM) constructions.℗ℓ It enables researchers to see what is crucial to the conformational change from normal cellular prion protein (PrPC)...
