Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of an amyloid protein, α-synuclein (αS), is a critical step in the neurodegenerative pathway of Parkinson's diseases (PD). Specific detection of amyloid conformers (i.e., monomers, oligomers, and fibrils) produced during αS aggregation is critical in better understanding a molecular basis of PD and developing a diagnostic tool. While various molecular probes are available for detection of αS fibrils,...
