Intracellular repair of oxidation-damaged α-synuclein fails to target C-terminal modification sites
Abstract
α-synuclein is a protein linked to the occurrence of Parkinson's disease. Here, the authors use time-resolved in-cell NMR spectroscopy to study the repair of methionine-oxidized α-synuclein by endogenous cellular enzymes.
