Description
A comparison of two 3D models of different prion protein isoforms. The structure on the left represents a human prion protein found on cell membranes in its normal state. The structure on the right is a fungal prion in it's folded amyloid form, similar to how prion proteins deform in certain neurological diseases like "mad cow disease" or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
