1 Megadalton-sized Dityrosine Aggregates of alpha-Synuclein Retain High Degrees of Structural Disorder and Internal Dynamics. dityrosine synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
2 Here, we analyze the structural and dynamic properties of megadalton-sized dityrosine adducts of alphaSyn that form in the presence of reactive oxygen species and cytochrome c, a proapoptotic peroxidase that is released from mitochondria during sustained oxidative stress. dityrosine synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
3 We find that intermolecular dityrosine crosslinks restrict alphaSyn motions only locally whereas large segments of concatenated molecules remain flexible and disordered. dityrosine synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
4 We further establish that dityrosine adducts inhibit classical amyloid formation by maintaining alphaSyn in its monomeric form and that they are non-cytotoxic despite retaining basic membrane-binding properties. dityrosine synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
