Cryo-EM Structures of Infectious Low-Twist α-Synuclein Filaments in Lewy Bodies
-Synuclein (aSyn) aggregation within Lewy bodies underlies Parkinson's disease and associated dementias. These aggregates are often comprised of amyloid filaments, most of which appear untwisted or have extremely low twist, complicating high-resolution structural determination by cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Here, we isolated filaments from the brain tissue of a patient with dementia…
