In its monomeric form, αSyn performs a wide range of functions at nerve terminals, for which its ability to bind membranes is essential. In contrast, oligomers of αSyn are increasingly recognised as key toxic species in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, yet the structural basis of their memb…

EPN Campus Colloquia presented by Raphaël Lévy (Université Sorbonne Paris Nord and Université Paris Cité, INSERM, LVTS, Paris, France)

The conference brings together researchers interested in how complexity in atomic structure—periodic, aperiodic, and disordered—emerges and governs the physical properties of materials. The conference focuses on systems in which long range periodic or aperiodic order, disorder, local structure play a central role in determining electronic, magnetic, dynamical, and functional behavior.
