NEW CONFORMATION. “The prion version of the same protein has beta sheets, a completely different structure. The new prion protein forms a clump and becomes a base, which draws in other protein building a crystal mass. It is not yet clear exactly how this transformation occurs, but most cellular folding is managed by complex large proteins called chaperones. It appears that lipids act as the chaperones for prions.”
