α-synuclein is a neuronal protein associated with Parkinson’s disease.
α-synuclein, a neuronal protein associated with Parkinson’s disease, can exist in neurons in membrane-bound and aggregated states. A better appreciation of its properties will help us to understand α-synuclein in healthy and diseased brains.

The Eliezer laboratory is primarily involved with the application of NMR spectroscopy to problems in non-native structural biology. This includes characterizing the location and extent of structure in and the intermolecular interactions of aggregation-competent partially unfolded states of proteins involved in neurodegenerative disease. Specific targets include Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease related proteins.
