Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism underlying the flavonoid-induced inhibition of alpha-synuclein fibrillation was thoroughly examined by various biochemical and biophysical approaches. The noncovalent binding of the inhibitory flavonoids to alpha-synuclein and the covalent modification by the flavonoid quinone led to the restriction of the conformational changes in this natively unfolded protein and to the stabilization of...
