The chemistry of scrapie infection: implications of the 'ice 9' metaphor
Chem Biol.
1995 Jan.
Abstract
The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies pose an increasing problem for animal, and perhaps human, health. The infectious agent seems to lack a nucleic acid component, posing the question of how it can reproduce. A model of reproduction by nucleated polymerization suggests a number of novel approaches to the problem.
