The N-terminal octarepeat domain of the prion protein takes up Cu2+
•
The octarepeat Cu2+ interacts with a negatively charged C-terminal domain pocket
•
The C-terminal interaction surface overlaps the epitope of the toxic POM1 antibody
•
POM1 may act by interfering with the Cu2+ promoted cis interaction
