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...

We're really proud to have had the opportunity to work with @professorpernilla.bsky.social to bring to life the beautiful and important world of protein structures!
This model of Top7 (a de novo protein) was used by Prof. Pernilla when The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 was announced.
