Structural study on the active site of the collagenase from Hypoderma lineatum.

abstract：:Prion protein (PrPc) is expressed in many tissues, both in human and animals. The scrapie isoform of PrPc has been shown to cause neurodegeneration. In other studies it has been demonstrated that overexpression of the PrP gene can result in nonneuronal tissue degradation. Little is known, however, about the normal fun...
