Parkinson's disease is amongst the most frequent and most devastating neurodegenerative diseases. It is tightly associated with the assembly of proteins into high-molecular weight protein species, which propagate between neurons in the central nervous system. The principal protein involved in this process is ?-synuclein which is a...

The misfolding of proteins into a toxic conformation is proposed to be at the molecular foundation of a number of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Evidence that ?-synuclein amyloidogenesis plays a causative role in the development of Parkinson's disease is furnished by a...

Kinetic analysis of protein aggregation monitored by real-time 2D solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Kinetic analysis of protein aggregation monitored by real-time 2D solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract It is shown that real-time 2D solid-state NMR can be used to obtain kinetic and structural information about the process of protein aggregation. In addition to the incorporation of kinetic information involving intermediate states, this approach can offer atom-specific resolution for all detectable species. The analysis was carried out using experimental data obtained during aggregation of the 10.4 kDa Crh protein, which has been shown to involve a partially unfolded intermediate...

The aggregation of ?-synuclein (AS) is selectively enhanced by copper in vitro, and the interaction is proposed to play a potential role in vivo. In this work, we report the structural, residue-specific characterization of Cu(I) binding to AS and demonstrate...
