Scope and Contents

Contents

Small unilamellar vesicles composed of the negatively charged lipid DMPS enhance the aggregation of the Lewy Body disease protein α-synuclein by increasing the rate of primary nucleation by a thousandfold.
α-Synuclein (α-syn) is a 140-residue intrinsically disordered protein that is involved in neuronal and synaptic vesicle plasticity, but its a...
