α-Synuclein Conformational Plasticity: Physiologic States, Pathologic Strains, and Biotechnological Applications

α-Synuclein (αS) is remarkable for both its extensive conformational plasticity and pathologic prion-like properties. Physiologically, αS may populate disordered monomeric, helically folded tetrameric, or membrane-bound oligomeric states. Pathologically, αS may assemble into toxic oligomers and subs...
