摘要
The intriguing finding that alpha -synuclein-a protein recently found to be mutated in some familial cases of Parkinson disease-and cytosolic dopamine interact to form adducts that stabilize a presumably toxic intermediate of fibril formation provides clues into the mechanism of neurodegeneration.
