Alpha-synuclein is a small presynaptic protein that, under normal conditions, exists largely in a disordered conformation and participates in synaptic vesicle trafficking and neurotransmitter release.
Researchers have used computational models to understand what drives the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, a key culprit in the development of Parkinson's disease. IDPs play important roles in ...
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) make up about 30 percent of our proteome. They are important to many fundamental aspects of biology and disrupted in disease. Since they lack a stable shape, ...

A lab may have found a way to stop the toxic protein clumps behind Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a cellular protein, tubulin, that can redirect two of the most ...
In synthetic and structural biology, advances in artificial intelligence have led to an explosion of designing new proteins with specific functions, from antibodies to blood clotting agents, by using ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely found in the proteomes of eukaryotes and play key roles in life processes such as transcription of genetic information and signaling. Apart from ...
The reduction of α-synuclein, which is central to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and other α-synucleinopathies, can be accomplished through the binding and selective degradation of its ...
In diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, specific proteins misfold and clump together, forming toxic aggregates that damage brain cells. The process of proteins spontaneously clumping is called ...
Researchers at Harvard and Northwestern have developed a machine learning method that can design intrinsically disordered proteins with custom properties, addressing nearly 30% of all human proteins ...
Researchers have used computational models to understand what drives the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, a key culprit in the development of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published today as ...
