Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein whose aggregation in the form of amyloid fibers is directly implicated in Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders. α-Synuclein is composed of three different regions. The central region (61-95), called NAC, is responsible for protein fibrillation. The N-terminal region (1-61) has some helical propensity and can be divided into H1 (1-31) and H2...
