This abnormal structure results in the inability of the proteins to be broken down by enzymes, and subsequently in the accumulation of the protein in the brain—which leads to disease. However, according to Lindquist, once scientists identify the characteristics of healthy prions, it may be possible to prevent them from becoming abnormal. “Maybe if we knew...
