A soluble α-synuclein construct forms a dynamic tetramer

…, LTT Nguyen, J Liao, JR Auclair… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
A heterologously expressed form of the human Parkinson disease-associated protein α-synuclein
with a 10-residue N-terminal extension is shown to form a stable tetramer in the …

[HTML][HTML] Best practices and benchmarks for intact protein analysis for top-down mass spectrometry

…, A Koller, JJ Wolff, IDG Campuzano, JR Auclair… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
One gene can give rise to many functionally distinct proteoforms, each of which has a
characteristic molecular mass. Top-down mass spectrometry enables the analysis of intact proteins …

Strategies for stabilizing superoxide dismutase (SOD1), the protein destabilized in the most common form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

JR Auclair, KJ Boggio, GA Petsko… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disorder characterized by the death of both upper
