Identification and nanomechanical characterization of the fundamental single-strand protofilaments of amyloid α-synuclein fibrils

The formation and spreading of amyloid aggregates from the presynaptic protein α-synuclein in the brain play central roles in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. Here, we use high-resolution atomic force microscopy to investigate the early oligomerization events of α-synuclein with single monom...
