FTD-tau S320F mutation stabilizes local structure and allosterically promotes amyloid motif-dependent aggregation

The authors used multi-disciplinary approaches to understand the structural mechanism underlying spontaneous aggregation of tau encoding an S320F FTD-tau mutant. Understanding the mechanisms of tau aggregation will help identify novel methods to regulate its misfolding.
