prion

Back 7

short for proteinaceous infectious particle — (by analogy to virion); is a type of infectious agent, as it is made only of protein. Prions are abnormally-structured forms of a host protein, which are able to convert normal molecules of the protein into the abnormally structured form. Unlike other pathogens, prions are generally quite resistant to denaturation by protease, heat, radiation, and formalin treatments[2], although potency or infectivity can be reduced.
