Model of intermediate state ID1. The secondary structure of PrPC is mapped onto the dimer as it would occur if each domain folded natively. The intermediate ID1 guides the dimer down the misfolding pathway by helping prevent native structure formation. Because ID1 does not form in monomeric PrP, it likely spans the region between the two natively structured domains (dashed box).
