Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein conformational strains provide a potential explanation for the clinical and pathological differences among synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy. However, how distinct α-synuclein strains arise remains unknown. Here, we observed conformational heterogeneity between individual preparations of α-synuclein pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) generated by polymerizing wild-type...
