Abstract excerpt
Three point mutations (A30P, E46K, and A53T) as well as gene triplication genetically link the 140-residue protein alpha-synuclein (aS) to the development of Parkinson disease. Here, the structure and dynamics of micelle-bound aS(A30P) and aS(A53T) are described and compared with wild-type aS, in addition to describing the aS-micelle interaction. A53T is sensed only by directly adjacent residues and leaves the...
