Investigation of intramolecular dynamics and conformations of α-, β- and γ-synuclein.
The synucleins are a family of natively unstructured proteins consisting of α-, β-, and γ-synuclein which are primarily expressed in neurons. They have been linked to a wide variety of pathologies, including neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (α-synuclein) and dementia with Lew...
