The interplay of intrinsic disorder and macromolecular crowding on α-synuclein fibril formation
Nobu C. Shirai, Macoto Kikuchi
α-synuclein (α-syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein which is considered to be one of the causes of Parkinson's disease. This protein forms amyloid fibrils when in a highly c…

Structural flexibility of intrinsically disordered proteins induces stepwise target recognition
Nobu C. Shirai, Macoto Kikuchi
An intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) lacks a stable three-dimensional structure, while it folds into a specific structure when it binds to a target molecule. In some IDP-targe…
