Association of Analytical Communities International, Midwest Section [abstract].  Abstract No. 601.  p. 38.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: The nucleation-polymerization and template assistance models for conversion of the normal cellular form of the prion protein, PrP**C, to the disease associated, protease resistant conformation, PrP**d, will be discussed.  Attention will be paid to a recent model of PrP**d fibril structure, the implications such a conformation has on the inactivation of prion infectivity, and the methods to detect inactivation.
