Transthyretin has conformation-selective proteolytic activity against α-synuclein

Z. Sarkany, T. Giao, M. A. Liz, A. Planas, S. Macedo-Ribeiro, I. Cardoso, G. Arsequell, P. M. Martins

This study shows that transthyretin (TTR) selectively proteolyzes specific conformations of alpha-synuclein (aSyn), preventing its aggregation, with implications for neurodegenerative diseases.

Quantification of surface tension effects and nucleation-and-growth rates during self-assembly of biological condensates

Z. Sarkany, F. Rocha, A. Bratek-Skicki, P. Tompa, S. Macedo-Ribeiro, P. M. Martins

The paper derives a kinetic solution to predict biological condensate formation by considering surface tension and nucleation-growth rates, showing large condensates can form without size control mechanisms.
