Abstract excerpt
Aggregated alpha-synuclein and the point mutations Ala30Pro and Ala53Thr of alpha-synuclein are associated with Parkinson's disease. The physiological roles of alpha-synuclein and methionine oxidation of the alpha-synuclein protein structure and function are not fully understood. Methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) reduces methionine sulfoxide residues and functions as an antioxidant. To monitor the effect of...
