Optimization of a small molecule inhibitor of secondary nucleation in α-synuclein aggregation
Parkinson’s disease is characterised by the deposition in the brain of amyloid aggregates of α-synuclein. The surfaces of these amyloid aggregates can catalyse the formation of new aggregates, giving rise to a positive feedback mechanism responsible for the rapid proliferation of α-synuclein deposit...
