Recent research from Rice suggests that the protein clumps linked to Parkinson’s disease do not simply accumulate in brain cells; rather, they actively degrade the ATP energy molecule, which may contribute to neurodegeneration. #DPRIT

Our new paper with Riek group is out! We show ATP hydrolysis by synuclein amyloids, identify binding site and a surprising structural change. ATP Hydrolysis by α‐Synuclein Amyloids is Mediated by Enclosing β‐Strand - Frey - Advanced Science -

Pathological amyloids have been considered chemically inert until recently. Here it is shown that α-synuclein amyloids catalyze the hydrolysis of the universal energy molecule, ATP. The cryo-EM...
