Abstract
To elucidate potential biological roles of human β-synuclein, we studied its conformational changes under various conditions. The structural and functional properties of β-synuclein were characterized using biochemical and biophysical methods including: a functional assay, mass spectrometry, size exclusion chromatography, circular dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed β-synuclein has a high proportion of random coil in solution.
Keywords: β-Synuclein, circular dichroism, fluorescence, conformational change
