Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein (αS) is an intrinsically disordered protein that is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) through its ability to self-assemble into oligomers and fibrils. Inhibition of this oligomerization cascade is an interesting approach to developing therapeutical strategies and β-synuclein (βS) has been described as a natural negative regulator of this process. However, the biological background and molecular...
