Extent of N-terminus exposure of monomeric alpha-synuclein determines its aggregation propensity

In Parkinson’s disease (PD) the monomeric protein alpha-synuclein (aSyn) misfolds and aggregates into insoluble fibrils. Here the authors use NMR measurements and hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and find that the more solvent exposed the N-terminus of aSyn is, the more aggregation pron...
