In vitro-prepared A30P alpha-synuclein fibrils adopt the conserved and disease-relevant Greek key fold

The paper reports the high-resolution SSNMR structure of A30P mutant alpha-synuclein fibrils, showing a conserved Greek key fold not including the mutation site, and validates a method for comparing SSNMR spectra of Asyn polymorphs.

Protonated Structure of EmrE Reveals C-terminal Tail Gating Mechanism

The paper reports the high-resolution structure of protonated EmrE, revealing how the C-terminal tail occludes the transport pore to prevent proton leak.

Alpha-Synuclein Fibril Structures Cluster into Distinct Classes

The paper classifies Alpha-synuclein fibril structures into two main polymorph classes using clustering and finds conserved motifs that could guide drug design.

High-Resolution Cryo-EM Structure Determination of α-Synuclein - A Prototypical Amyloid Fibril

This paper provides a protocol for high-resolution cryo-EM structure determination of α-synuclein fibrils, resulting in a 2.04 Å structure with new density features.

Structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils derived from human Lewy body dementia tissue

This study determines the atomic structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils from Lewy body dementia tissue using a novel amplification method and solid-state NMR.
