In-cell NMR characterization of the secondary structure populations of a disordered conformation of α-synuclein within E. coli cells.

α-Synuclein is a small protein strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. We report here the use of in-cell NMR spectroscopy to observe directly the structure and dynamics of this protein within E. coli cells. To improve the accuracy...
