Two new polymorphic structures of human full-length alpha-synuclein fibrils solved by cryo-electron microscopy

Two new polymorphic structures of human full-length alpha-synuclein fibrils solved by cryo-electron microscopy

Intracellular inclusions rich in alpha-synuclein are a hallmark of several neuropathological diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Previously, we reported the structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils (residues 1–121), composed of two protofibrils that are connected via a densely-packed interface...
