Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein filaments are the central component of intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD) and related disorders. Metals are the significant etiological factors in PD, and their interaction with alpha-synuclein affect dramatically the kinetics of fibrillation. Currently, we have investigated the influence of Cu(II) and Fe(III) on alpha-synuclein fibril formation. Cu(II)...
