alpha-Synuclein exists in two different compartments in vivo-- correspondingly existing as two different forms: a membrane-bound form that is predominantly alpha-helical and a cytosolic form that is randomly structured. It has been suggested that these environmental and structural differences may play a role in aggregation propensity and development of pathological lesions observed in Parkinson's disease (PD)....
