Compact Intermediate States in Protein Folding
TL;DR: Equilibrium compact intermediates may be good models for transient intermediates formed during folding, and in some cases from the same protein under different conditions, may be significantly different.
Methionine Oxidation Stabilizes Non-Toxic Oligomers of alpha-synuclein through Strengthening the Auto-inhibitory Intra-molecular Long-range Interactions
TL;DR: It is shown that Met 1, 116, and 127 are more protected from the oxidation than Met 5 likely due to the residual structure in the natively unfolded alpha-Syn, leading to the formation of relatively stable oligomers, which are not toxic to dopaminergic and GABAergic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agrochemicals, α-synuclein, and Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: This review analyzes some of the aspects linking α-synuclein to PD, provides brief structural and functional descriptions of this important protein, and represents some data connecting exposure to agrochemicals with α- synuclein aggregation and PD pathogenesis.
Book ChapterDOI
Structural and Conformational Prerequisites of Amyloidogenesis
TL;DR: In this review recent findings are surveyed to illustrate that protein fibrillogenesis requires a partially folded conformation, which is relatively unfolded, and shares many structural properties with the premolten globule state.

Calbindin-D28K acts as a calcium-dependent chaperone suppressing α-synuclein fibrillation in vitro
Wenbo Zhou,Chunmei Long,Anthony L. Fink,Vladimir N. Uversky,Vladimir N. Uversky,Vladimir N. Uversky +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that calbindin-D28K interacts with α-synuclein and inhibits its fibrillation in a calcium-dependent manner, therefore potentially acting as acium-dependent chaperone.
