Abstract excerpt
Phase separated condensates of α-synuclein (α-Syn) accelerate amyloid fibril formation, a process implicated in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Yet, the precise effects of pathologically relevant α-Syn sequence modifications on this process remain unclear. Here, we show that sequence truncations exert the strongest influence on condensate thermodynamics, material properties, and amyloid aggregation, whereas...
