Alpha-synuclein: relating metals to structure, function and inhibition.

Metallomics : integrated biometal science - 1 Apr 2016

McDowall J S, Brown D R

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-synuclein has long been studied due to its involvement in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder, although a consensus on the exact function of this protein is elusive. This protein shows remarkable structural plasticity and this property is important for both correct cellular function and pathological progression of PD. Formation of intracellular oligomeric species...
