The First N-terminal Amino Acids of α-Synuclein Are Essential for α-Helical Structure Formation In Vitro and Membrane Binding in Yeast

α-Synuclein (α-syn), a protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease, is structurally diverse. In addition to its random-coil state, α-syn can adopt an α-helical structure upon lipid membrane binding or a β-sheet structure upon aggregation. We used yeast biology and in vitro biochemistry to detect how s...
