Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein (αS) is a highly charged, intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) whose aberrant aggregation is linked to Parkinson's disease (PD). Along with wild-type (WT) αS, five single-point mutants (A30P, E46K, H50Q, G51D, and A53T) are implicated in familial PD. To resolve contradictory experimental observations under varying solution conditions, we investigated how ionic strength modulates the relative...
