Prion formation can be inhibited either by ligand binding to PrPc, which shifts the equilibrium toward Prpc under cellular conditions that normally would form the prionogenic intermediate (Upper; also see ref. 35), or by using peptidomimetics that bind to the prionogenic intermediate or other intermediates that precede prion formation (not shown).
