Our new paper with Riek group is out! We show ATP hydrolysis by synuclein amyloids, identify binding site and a surprising structural change. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

ATP Hydrolysis by α‐Synuclein Amyloids is Mediated by Enclosing β‐Strand
Pathological amyloids have been considered chemically inert until recently. Here it is shown that α-synuclein amyloids catalyze the hydrolysis of the universal energy molecule, ATP. The cryo-EM struc...
