Abstract excerpt
The multidomain kinase enzyme leucine-rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), activated through a homodimerization manner, has been identified as an important pathogenic factor in Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease wordwide. The Trp-Asp-40 (WD40) domain, located in the C-terminal LRRK2, harbours one of the most frequent PD-related variants, G2385R. However, the detailed dynamics of...
