Abstract
We successfully displayed a series of gangliosides on small bicelles with a uniform confined size, offering nanoscale standardized membrane mimics for spectroscopic characterization of weak encounter complexes formed between ganglioside clusters and amyloidogenic proteins. This enabled probing of initial membrane-landing processes of α-synuclein as a therapeutic target by NMR spectroscopy.
