Abstract excerpt
Synucleins are pivotal in neurodegenerative conditions. Beta-synuclein (β-synuclein) is part of the synuclein protein family alongside alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) and gamma-synuclein (γ-synuclein). These proteins, found mainly in brain tissue and cancers, are soluble and unstructured. β-synuclein shares significant similarity with α-synuclein, especially in their N-terminus, with a 90% match. However, their...
