Are you saying the article you cite but didn't cite was wrong?

[Berzerker]

how is it a different shape?

[Berzerker]

the article used the term 3 dimensional to describe the difference

[N35t0r]

then the distinction would be irrelevant... and yet thats how the article described the difference between normal proteins and misfolded ones.

That's what you understood from it.

A misfolded protein is also three-dimensional. It's just a different shape. Proteins are made of hundreds to thousands of molecules, it is impossible for them to be two-dimensional.

All proteins are 3 dimensional.

Parkinson's disease starts in the gut and migrates to the brain. Proteins are typically 3 dimensional but misfolded proteins are not and they can "convince" neighboring proteins to mimic them. Eventually after decades of the gut biome building up these misfolded proteins they migrate to the lower brain stem and then the upper and its game over, game over man

They're still not sure what triggers the misfolding of proteins in the stomach and intestines but I suspect diet is a big factor.

A wealthy businessman who recruited a group of men to plant fake bombs in a London legal area over a "grudge" has been found guilty of various offences.


Jonathan Nuttall, 50, from Romsey in Hampshire, was behind two packages designed to resemble explosive devices which were left at Gray's Inn in 2021.


The jury heard it was the result of the "embarrassment" felt by Nuttall over an investigation into him and his wife.


Nuttall and two other men were convicted at the Old Bailey.
