Issue October 2009No. 2 (p 111-244) October 2009 ISSN 0739-110 Studies on the Structural Stability of Rabbit Prion Probed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations (159-162)Prion diseases are invariably fatal and highly infectious neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and animals. Rabbits are the only mammalian species reported to be resistant to infection from prion diseases isolated from other species (I. Vorberg et al., Journal of Virology 77 (3), 2003-2009 (2003)). At the end of 2007 the NMR structure of rabbit prion (124-228) was deposited into protein data bank (PDB entry 2FJ3). This paper studies the inhibition mechanism of rabbit prion at molecular structural level by molecular dynamics simulations.
