Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The ways in which the facts are related to the transmission of prion disease is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Prions are misfolded proteins which characterize several fatal neurodegenerative diseases in animal and humans.
The normal and abnormal prions differ in the protein structure.
They are even smaller than viruses and do not have

What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
