I think if prions were considered violations of CD then enzymes or at least ribosomes would be considered to violate CD as well.


ribosomes are not proteins though.


(to clarify: Ribosomes are composed of mostly protein; they are protein/RNA complexes in which the enzymatic functionality is implemented by RNA enzymes that are decorated with proteins that stabilize the complex, as well as increase its efficiency).
