Abstract excerpt
In the Parkinson's disease-associated state, α-synuclein undergoes large conformational changes, forming ordered, β-sheet-containing fibrils. To unravel the role of specific residues during the fibril assembly process, we prepared single-Cys mutants in the disordered (G7C and Y136C) and proximal...
