Short abstract and comments
The aim of this project is to study the structure of various conformations of ASYN and its applications as a biomarker for PD and related diseases. Furthermore, the pathways involved in neurotoxicity will be examined in combination with screening methods to identify modulators of ASYN function with therapeutic potential. This is a 48 months project starting in November 2009, involving 10 partners, with an overall EU contribution of 2.4 M €.
