Abstract excerpt
We report on in vitro self-assembly of nanometer-sized α-synuclein amyloid fibrils into well-defined micrometer-sized suprafibrillar aggregates with sheet-like or cylindrical morphology depending on the ionic strength of the solution. The cylindrical suprafibrillar structures are heavily hydrated, suggesting swollen gel-like particles. In contrast to higher order structures formed by other negatively charged...
