Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein (α-Syn) oligomerization and amyloid formation are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. Studying familial α-Syn mutants associated with early onset PD has therapeutic importance. Here we report the aggregation kinetics and other biophysical properties of a newly discovered PD associated Finnish mutation (A53E). Our in vitro study demonstrated that A53E attenuated α-Syn aggregation and...
