摘要: Prion diseases are invariably fatal and highly infectious neurodegenerative diseases that affect a wide variety of mammalian species such as sheep and goats, cattle, deer and elk, and humans. But for rabbits, studies have shown that they have a low susceptibility to be infected by prion diseases.

But for rabbits, studies have shown that they have a low susceptibility to be infected by prion diseases. This paper does molecular dynamics studies of rabbit NMR structures , in order to understand the specific mechanism of rabbit prion proteins . Protein surface electrostatic charge distributions are specially focused to analyze the MD trajectories. This paper can conclude that surface electrostatic charge distributions indeed contribute to the structural stability of wild-type RaPrPC; this may be useful for the medicinal treatment of prion diseases.收起
