“…The natively unfolded nature of αSN gives rise to a multistate folding when titrated with SDS, going from random coil to different α-helical folded states around the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS. [29][30][31][32] It can take days to months for fibrillation to occur. 7,33,34 However, addition of negatively charged polymers or colloids such as heparin, heparin sulfate, dextran sulfate, and anionic surfactants accelerates the kinetics of αSN fibrillation.…”
