Abstract excerpt
The major component of neural inclusions that are the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease are amyloid fibrils of the protein α-synuclein (aS). Here we investigated if the disease-related mutation A30P not only modulates the kinetics of aS aggregation, but also alters the structure of amyloid fibrils. To this end we optimized the method of quenched hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled to NMR spectroscopy...
