Abstract
Alpha-synuclein, a natively unstructured protein important in the neuropathology of Parkinson's disease, was found to form a Langmuir monolayer in an alpha-helical conformation with its helical axis parallel to the air-water interface. This study sheds light on the role of vesicles in neuronal cells in the accumulation/aggregation of alpha-synuclein.Entities:
