abstract = {Serine 129 can be phosphorylated in pathological inclusions
formed by the intrinsically disordered protein human
α-synuclein (AS), a key player in Parkinson’s disease and
other synucleinopathies. Here, molecular simulations provide
insight into the structural ensemble of phosphorylated AS.
The simulations allow us to suggest that phosphorylation
significantly impacts the structural content of the
physiological AS conformational ensemble in aqueous
solution, as the phosphate group is mostly solvated. The
hydrophobic region of AS contains β-hairpin structures,
which may increase the propensity of the protein to undergo
amyloid formation, as seen in the nonphysiological
(nonacetylated) form of the protein in a recent molecular
simulation study. Our findings are consistent with existing
experimental data with the caveat of the observed
limitations of the force field for the phosphorylated
moiety.},
