The chemistry of scrapie infection: implications of the 'ice 9' metaphor.

P T Lansbury1, B Caughey.   

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.
