Abstract excerpt
A30P and A53T mutations of the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein are associated with familial forms of Parkinson disease. NMR spectroscopy demonstrates that Parkinsonism-linked mutations greatly perturb specific tertiary interactions essential for the native state of alpha-synuclein. However, a...
