Which of the following is MOST likely the reason why
prions are infective?
A. Prions are small proteins that can easily bind to allosteric
sites of other proteins causing steric and electrostatic
repulsions that affect protein structure.

C. Prions have exposed hydrophobic cores capable of
interacting with non-polar groups in proteins which it also
alters for maximum interactions.
D. Prions increase thermodynamic instability of external
residues by disrupting H2O-protein interactions
