Degradation of the disease-associated prion protein by a serine protease from lichens.

Degradation of the disease-associated prion protein by a serine protease from lichens.

The disease-associated prion protein (PrP(TSE)), the probable etiological agent of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), is resistant to degradation and can persist in the environment.
