Abstract excerpt
Several mutations in the gene encoding the microtubule-associated protein tau are responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary inclusions in frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). Here we present the high-resolution characterization of the conformational properties of two FTDP-17 mutants of the four-repeat domain of tau, P301L and DeltaK280, and their properties for...
