Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease is characterized by the deposition of aggregated α-syn and its familial mutants into Lewy bodies leading to death of dopaminergic neurons. α-syn is involved in Ca(II) and dopamine (DA) signaling and their adequate balance inside neuronal cytoplasm is essential for maintaining healthy dopaminergic neurons. We have probed the binding energetics of Ca(II) and DA to human α-syn and its familial...
