.They can be frozen for extended periods of time and still remain infectious. To destroy a prion it must be denatured to the point that it can no longer cause normal proteins to misfold. Sustained heat for several hours at extremely high temperatures (900°F and above) will reliably destroy a prion
Prion don't really change their shape
Protein are denatured
Prion are not easy denatured
Prion shape might be held together with diffuse covalent bond
Prion shape much more stable
Step 2
GAUCHER’s disease
Betaglucosidase enzyme (kind of protein that assist with chemical reactions)
