Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects over 12 million people worldwide. A central pathological feature is the accumulation of aggregated alpha-synuclein (αS) in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Engineered αS variants such as 3K (E35K+E46K+E61K) and KLK (KTKEGV→KLKEGV in 6 repeats) have been shown to enhance membrane binding and aggregation propensity, contributing to...
