Abstract excerpt
It is still poorly understood why α-synuclein, the intrinsically disordered protein involved in Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases, is so prone to aggregation. Recent work has shown a correlation between the aggregation rate and the rate of diffusional reconfiguration by varying temperature and pH. Here we examine the effects of several point mutations in the sequence on the conformational ensemble...
