Sandbox Reserved 1109

This Sandbox is Reserved from 25/11/2019, through 30/9/2020 for use in the course "Structural Biology" taught by Bruno Kieffer at the University of Strasbourg, ESBS. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 1091 through Sandbox Reserved 1115.

To get started: Click the edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again. show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page. Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc. More help: Help:Editing

Disease One of the main characteristics of Neurodegenerative disorders is neuronal damage which occurs due to the loss of the protective capacity surrounding the neurons, or the gain of the toxic proteins. The mechanism by which the neuronal damage occurs is due to specific mutations, or other alterations of the synaptic proteins. Recently, two mainstreams have been developed surrounding Parkinson's disease research. Firstly, the missense mutation of the α-synuclein gene is a rare genetic cause of Parkinson's disease. Secondly, the α-synuclein protein is the main component of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites the defining pathological characteristics of all Parkinson's disease cases. Structural highlights This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
