In numerous studies, treatment of prion preparations with ionizing and uv-radiation does not reduce transmission of disease, however, treatment with denaturants reduces disease transmission. what can be inferred from these observations? choose all the true statements.

I believe this problem has the following choices:

> Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions

> Prions are smaller than viruses, which are affected by radiation

> Prions are proteins

> Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation

The correct answer is:

* Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation
