Abstract excerpt
Intra-neuronal aggregation of α-synuclein into fibrils is the molecular basis for α-synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's disease. The atomic structure of human α-synuclein (hAS) fibrils was recently determined by Tuttle et al. using solid-state NMR (ssNMR). The previous study found that hAS fibrils are composed of a single protofilament. Here, we have investigated the structure of mouse α-synuclein (mAS)...
