Abstract excerpt
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) impact the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein (αS), a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we synthesize αS phosphorylated at tyrosine 39 (pY39) through a novel route using in vitro enzymatic phosphorylation of a fragment followed by ligation to form the full-length protein. We can execute this synthesis in combination with unnatural amino acid mutagenesis to...
