Abstract
ABSTRACT
Parkinson's disease is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid, which consists of α-synuclein (α-Syn). To screen compounds with amyloid aggregation inhibitory activity, an effective method for the preparation of α-Syn is a prerequisite. We established a simpler method for α-Syn preparation using freeze-thaw treatment of transformed Escherichia coli. Furthermore, we found that the high-mannose type free N-glycans could prevent α-Syn aggregation.
