Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) into amyloid fibrils is closely associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Familial mutations or posttranslational truncations in α-syn are known as risk factor for PD. Here, we examined the effects of the PD-related A30P or A53T point mutation and C-terminal 123-140 or 104-140 truncation on the aggregating property of α-syn based on the kinetic and thermodynamic analyses....
