> The largest protein we produce is about 27k amino acids, more complicated than most virophages The only known human prion proteins seem to be a few orders of magnitude smaller than that though, and they don't appear to adapt. Are you saying it's possible for prions to emerge from large proteins with the ability to adapt?
