Chapter 2, Problem 5CTQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The activity associated with proteins that might be involved in producing more prion particles.
Introduction: In 1982, Stanley Prusiner discovered an infectious protein particle called as prions. It causes the mad cow disease, which is called as scrapie in sheep and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in dairy cattle. It affects the neurological system and eventually causes the death of the organism.
Summary Introduction
To describe: The way in which a prion can make more prions using the given index.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice.
