abstract = {Prion diseases like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans or
scrapie in sheep and goats are infectious neurodegenerative
diseases. Their infectious agent, called prion, is composed
mainly of aggregated and misfolded prion protein and
non-proteinaceous components. An example of such a common
non-proteinaceous secondary component of natural prions is
the polysaccharide scaffold. We studied the influence of
such a polysaccharide on the conformational transition of
PrP applying an in vitro conversion system. Here we report
that glycogen supports and accelerates PrP amorphous
aggregation similar to seeded aggregation and leads to
co-aggregates. Furthermore, PrP fibril formation was highly
accelerated in the presence of glycogen.},
