Cholesterol differentially regulates α-synuclein binding across membrane packing regimes

Orianna H. Kou, B J Kim, David H. Johnson, Wade F. Zeno

This study shows cholesterol's effect on α-synuclein binding depends on membrane packing state, with cholesterol reducing, enhancing, or having little effect based on lipid composition and curvature.
