text: Prions are so small that they are even smaller than viruses and can only be seen through an electron microscope when they have aggregated and formed a cluster.
text: Indeed, the unique properties of the miniprions provide another persuasive argument supporting the contention that prions are infectious proteins.
text: The main difference between virus and prion is that the virus is an infectious particle that contains a nucleic acid molecule covered by a protein core whereas the prion is a simpler infectious particle made up of only proteins.
text: Prions are infectious particles that contain no nucleic acids, and viroids are small plant pathogens that do not encode proteins.
text: The key difference between virus and prion is that the virus is a tiny infectious particle composed of nucleic acids and a protein coat while the prion is a small infectious particle composed of a single protein.
text: Prions are infectious protein particles causing neurological degenerative diseases in humans and animals.
text: Prions are an infectious protein.
text: It is a small infectious protein capable of causing fatal dementia-like diseases in man and animals.
text: If viruses are genetic material strands made of either an RNA or DNA enclosed within a capsid, and if viroids are naked RNA strands, prions are simply infectious protein molecules that do not contain DNA or RNA.
text: The takeaway here is that although prions are small, they are mighty.
text: Prions are very small.
text: they are infectious proteins that lack nucleic acids.
text: Prions are infectious proteins that occur in the body, and can change other proteins to become harmful.
text: A virus refers to an infectious particle that can cause various types of diseases in living organisms while a prion is a simpler infectious particle that causes neuro-degenerative diseases.
text: Prions are the infectious particles, which primarily cause neurodegenerative disorders in both humans and animals.
text: A prion is a small infectious particle constructed of an abnormally folded protein that causes progressive neurodegenerative conditions (12)
text: Prions (infectious protein particles) have neither DNA nor RNA to transmit infection.
