Abstract excerpt
The misfolding and fibril formation of alpha-synuclein plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease. Here we used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, together with site-directed spin labeling, to investigate the structural features of alpha-synuclein fibrils. We generated fibrils from a total of 83 different spin-labeled derivatives and observed single-line,...
