Abstract excerpt
Dynorphin A is a highly cationic neuropeptide that exhibits membrane activity beyond its canonical opioid receptor signaling. Here, we investigate how sequence variants of Dynorphin A associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 23 modulate membrane disruption and aggregation behavior. Using computational electrophysiology simulations combined with liposome leakage and fluorescence-based aggregation assays, we...
