17 Many sequences can adopt alternative conformations in different proteins.

18 Misfolding and aggregation Neurological diseases can be transmitted purely by proteins Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, Scrapie in sheep (Nobel prize in Physiology 1997)

19 Prion diseases Transmissible agent consists of aggregated forms of a specific protein. The protein aggregates are resistant to treatment with agents that degrade most proteins The protein is lagely or completely derived from a cellular protein, called PrP, that is normally present in brain

20 Prion aggregation

21 A structure of amyloid fibers
