Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence implicate a central role for alpha-synuclein (aSN) in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Besides rare genetic mutations, post-translational mechanisms, such as oxidative stress-related nitration, may alter the protein properties in terms of propensity to aggregate or be degraded. Our group previously described increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production within easily...
