Abstract excerpt
Alpha-synuclein comprises the fibrillar core of Lewy bodies, which is one of the histologically defining lesions of Parkinson's disease. Previously, we screened for alpha-synuclein substitution mutants that do not form fibrils. For preventative or therapeutic uses, it is essential to suppress the oligomerization/fibrillation of the wild-type and PD-linked alpha-synuclein proteins. Here we have examined the...
