Dynamics of α-synuclein in human cell lines. (a) NMR spectra showing the signals from α-Syn in the cytoplasm of two human cell lines (red) and in aqueous buffer (black); decreased signal intensities correspond to regions with different protein dynamics caused by interactions with the cytosol. (b) Intramolecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancement profiles of α-Syn in the cytoplasm (red) and in buffer (grey); the calculated average radius of α-Syn is smaller in the cytoplasm than in aqueous buffer.
