Abstract
The slow process required for alpha-synuclein to form amyloid fibrils is a major obstacle in the development of therapeutic compounds for alpha-synuclein-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we have developed an efficient method by which amyloid fibrils can be formed from alpha-synuclein using ionic liquids (ILs). This report indicates that ILs could potentially be used as a stimulator for the amyloid formation of alpha-synuclein.Entities:
