The intrinsic dynamics of proteins is described by a string theory. Its coherent topological phenomena have implications for protein folding, stability, and functionality, and to other biomolecules such as DNA. Similar to the case of circular DNA, writhing, twist, and linking can be considered and t
A salient characteristic of the prion diseases--including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle--is an extended asymptomatic incubation period followed by a rapid and often fatal clinical phase. We present a kinetic model of progression of infection based upon the
