## Abstract α‐Synuclein (α‐Syn) has been identified as a component of intracellular fibrillar deposits in Parkinson's disease. Though the real pathogenesis is still unknown, many investigations have revealed that conformational alteration and fibril formation of α‐Syn protein have an important role
An improved understanding of protein misfolding is critical to the study of proteins involved in diseases such as Alzheimers and prion-related diseases, as well as to the clarification of the folding pathway of proteins. In general, hydrophobic clustering seems to be an important feature for peptide
