The extent of protein hydration dictates the preference for heterogeneous or homogeneous nucleation generating either parallel or antiparallel β-sheet α-synuclein aggregates

This study shows that α-synuclein can form amyloid aggregates via homogeneous nucleation under limited hydration, leading to antiparallel β-sheet structures, which are more stable than parallel ones under such conditions.
