The model was generated from RCSB protein data bank entry 1XQ8 by manually converting the non-helical linker between helix-1 and helix-2 to a helical conformation. The sidechains of residues Ala 30 and Val 70 are shown to indicate the location of proline mutations examined in this study. c Wt a-syn in the broken helix conformation (RCSB protein data bank entry 1XQ8) with the sidechains of Ala 30 and Val 70 show %K Microscopy %K Cell biology %K Cellular neuroscience %K Parkinson's disease %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6597712/
