Abstract

- In vitro time-resolved characterization of protein aggregation into amyloid fibers and the effects of other proteins on the aggregation process are fundamentally important measurements to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms contributing to neurodegeneration, as well as other diseases involving amyloid formation. Here, we describe how to perform in vitro aggregation experiments with α-synuclein, the amyloidogenic protein involved in Parkinson’s disease, including how to assess the starting material, useful experimental/instrumental conditions, as well as how to set up cross-seeding and co-aggregation experiments. The high variability of data reported for in vitro α-synuclein amyloid formation may in part be explained by experimental differences.
