-Synuclein (S) is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) that aggregates into amyloid fibrils during the progression of Parkinsons Disease and other synucleinopathies. The N-terminal domain (residues 1-60) is now understood to play a critical role in the initial nucleation of aggregation, as well as a pivotal role in the monomer-fibril interaction underlying amyloid seeding. Here we report on the interaction between S and the polyphenol tannic acid (TA), where a combination of solution NMR, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and ThT assays have identified that TA targets the S N-terminal domain to inhibit amyloid fibril formation in a pH dependent manner. This work highlights the importance of targeting the N-terminus of S to arrest fibril formation, and suggests the importance of including polyphenolic moieties in future amyloid inhibitors.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
