The prion is a misfolded form of PrPc. Cells have chaperones for young proteins to help it fold correctly Prions affect the folding of normal‚ healthy proteins PrPc comes in contact with PrPsc‚ PrPsc affects the folding of the normal protein and causes it to fold into the harmful form of the protein PrPsc

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is commonly known as mad cow disease. This is a neurodegenerative disease that causes spongy deterioration of the brain and spinal cord in cattle. The neurodegeneration is slow‚ progressive and fatal. The ultimate fate of a cow infected with this disease is most likely death. This disease is easily transmitted and is spread through ingesting an infected cow’s nervous tissue. When cows are slaughtered portions of the meat are used for either people food or for

view on women‚ courtship‚ and marriage differed immensely from today’s views. In the nineteenth century‚ women were held to a higher and stricter standard. Women couldn’t talk to men without being introduced‚ they couldn’t leave the home without a chaperone‚ they had to look their absolute best‚ and many more restrictions.

They all are involved in the degradation of cytosolic constituents in the lysosome. Through selective and non-selective mechanisms‚ macroautophagy and microautophagy are able to fuse with large cellular structures whereas chaperone-mediated autophagy on the other hand‚ has targeted

Threonine is an essential amino acid that is classified as slightly polar due to its hydroxyl group and the ability to easily donate a hydrogen atom. This as well makes it hydrophilic and often will saturate the outer region of a water soluble protein. They hydroxyl side chain can undergo glycosylation by adding saccharides and phosphorylation by adding phosphate through the actions of threonine kinase (New World Encyclopedia‚ 2015). B.
