The interplay between lipids and dopamine on α-synuclein oligomerization and membrane binding

The deposition of α-syn (α-synuclein) as amyloid fibrils and the selective loss of DA (dopamine) containing neurons in the substantia nigra are two key features of PD (Parkinson's disease). α-syn is a natively unfolded protein and adopts an α-helical conformation upon binding to lipid membrane....
