Trimethylamine‐ N ‐oxide‐induced folding of α‐synuclein
Abstract
The effect of the natural osmolyte trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) on the structural properties and fibril formation of the natively unfolded protein human alpha-synuclein was studied using several physico-chemical methods. TMAO induced folding of alpha-synuclein: at moderate concentrations, a partially folded intermediate with enhanced propensity for fibrillation accumulated; at higher concentrations, alpha-synuclein was tightly folded and underwent self-association to form oligomers. The latter conformation was significantly helical and probably represents the physiologically folded form of the protein.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
