Answer:

beta sheets

Explanation:

  • The proteinaceous particles that lack nucleic acids and are not viruses are termed as prions. 
  • In the healthy brain tissue, the prion proteins are present in the form PrPC, however, in case of prion disease, the normal protein becomes denatured and misfolded and exists in the rogue form which is PrPSc.
