Biasing the native α-synuclein conformational ensemble towards compact states abolishes aggregation and neurotoxicity

Biasing the native α-synuclein conformational ensemble towards compact states abolishes aggregation and neurotoxicity

The aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into amyloid fibrils is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. The mechanisms underlying the structural transition of soluble and innocuous α-syn to aggregated neurotoxic forms remains largely unknown. The di...
