Effect of Reparation of Repeat Sequences in the Human α-Synuclein on Fibrillation Ability
<p>The aggregation and fibrillation of α-synuclein has been implicated as a causative factor in the Parkinson's disease. The hexamer motif KTKEGV is found in each of the seven imperfect repeat sequences in the N-terminal half of α-synuclein. The motif is not fully conser...
