1 We present here biophysical and biochemical studies that have enabled us to characterize the interaction of metal-substituted, tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines (PcTS) with alpha-synuclein (AS), the major protein component of amyloid-like deposits in Parkinson disease.

2 Using NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies we demonstrated conclusively that the differences in binding capacity and anti-amyloid activity of phthalocyanines on AS are attributed to their relative ability to self-stack through pi-pi interactions, modulated by the nature of the metal ion bound at the molecule.
