α-Synuclein’s uniquely long amphipathic helix enhances its membrane binding and remodeling capacity

α-Synuclein is the primary protein found in Lewy bodies, the protein and lipid aggregates associated with Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia. The protein folds into a uniquely long amphipathic α-helix (AH) when bound to a membrane, and at high enough concentrations induces large scale remode...
