 Hi, as I know, there are a couple of molecular dynamics simulations done
 on prion protein:
    Billeter M, Wuthrich K
      The prion protein globular domain and disease-related mutants
 studied by molecular dynamics simulations
      ARCH VIROL 251-263 Suppl. 16 2000
    Zuegg J, Gready JE
      Molecular dynamics simulation of human prion protein including both
 N-linked oligosaccharides and the GPI anchor
      GLYCOBIOLOGY 10: (10) 959-974 OCT 2000
    Zuegg J, Greedy JE
      Molecular dynamics simulations of human prion protein: Importance
 of correct treatment of electrostatic interactions
      BIOCHEMISTRY-US 38: (42) 13862-13876 OCT 19 1999
 Hope helpful,
