ABSTRACT:
In a previous issue we have shown that, under perturbation, different isoforms of prion protein have unique water absorbance patterns and showed that water in solution plays the role of an 𠇎xtended Water Mirror (EWM)”. This article continues to observe the extended water mirror approach, including some well known proteins: human serum albumin and γ-globulin.
