PrPSc, the first described and most notorious prion, is the only protein known to cause epidemics of deadly disease. Its properties are encoded in its unique structure. Here we report a first solid state NMR study of a uniformly labelled (U-13C,15N)-Bank vole (BV) infectious recombinant PrPSc prion. C-C, C-H and N-H spectra were obtained with MAS rotation of the sample at up to 60 kHz. We obtained amino acid-type secondary structure i...
