Abstract excerpt
The aggregation of α-synuclein (A-syn) has been implicated strongly in Parkinson's disease (PD). In vitro studies established A-syn to be a member of the intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) family. This protein undergoes structural interconversion between an extended and a compact state, and this equilibrium influences the mechanism of its aggregation. A combination of fluorescence resonance energy transfer...
