Exploring α-synuclein stability under the external electrostatic field: Effect of repeat unit.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a category of neurodegenerative disorders (ND) that currently lack comprehensive and definitive treatment strategies. The etiology of PD can be attributed to the presence and aggregation of a protein known as α-synuclein. Researchers have observed that the application of an external electrostatic field holds the potential to induce the separation of the fibrous structures into peptides.
