α-Helical peptidic scaffolds to target α-synuclein toxic species with nanomolar affinity
α-Synuclein (αS) aggregation is a driver of several neurodegenerative disorders. Here, the authors identify a class of peptides that bind toxic αS oligomers and amyloid fibrils but not monomeric functional protein, and prevent further αS aggregation and associated cell damage.
