Applying advanced biochemical techniques, Prusiner generated a purified infectious scrapie preparation that yielded a peptide fragment. By determining the nucleic acid sequence that encoded the peptide, he located the gene where the sequence for the peptide was embedded, allowing him to decipher the full-length protein PrP (the prion protein) (Brown and Bradley, 1998).
