Alternative low-populated conformations prompt phase transitions in polyalanine repeat expansions
Abstract Abnormal trinucleotide repeat expansions alter protein conformation causing malfunction and contribute to a significant number of incurable human diseases. Scarce structural insights available on disease-related homorepeat expansions hinder the design of effective therapeutics. Here, we pre...
