Abstract excerpt
Conformational abnormalities and aggregation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) have been linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's (PD) and related diseases. It has been shown that alpha-syn can stably bind artificial phospholipid vesicles through alpha-helix formation in its N-terminal repeat region. However, little is known about the membrane interaction in cells. In the current study, we determined the...
