Research Abstract |
In order to understand the relationship between flexibility and function of protein, we investigated intrinsically disordered protein, alpha-synuclein and molecular chaperone, chaperonin in detail from protein chemistry, biochemistry, and biophysical chemistry points of view. We found that the intrinsic flexibility, structural property, and structural changes of polypeptide triggered amyloid fibril formation and also were involved in the function closely.
