Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by the formation of Lewy bodies, which are primarily composed of misfolded α-Synuclein (α-Syn). DJ-1 is a crucial protein involved in the correct folding of α-Syn, and mutations impairing its function are associated with the onset of PD. One such mutation, the L166P substitution in DJ-1, which has been linked to early-onset...
