Image processing of full-length monomeric LRRK2

View Published Protocol

Output Details

Description
This protocol assumes that 2000 to 4000 movies of full-length LRRK2 embedded on vitreous ice are collected with an electron microscope equipped with a direct detector. It focuses primarily on the monomeric population of LRRK2 and has been leading to 3-4 Å resolution structures.

Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2: Pathways to Parkinson’s Disease

Research on LRRK2 in Parkinson's disease has advanced, revealing how mutations activate the kinase, phosphorylate Rab proteins, disrupt cell functions like Hedgehog signaling, and contribute to the disease. LRRK2 inhibitors show promise for therapy.
