abstract：:A broad range of neurodegenerative disorders result from the cytotoxicity conferred by aberrantly folded mutant proteins. Intriguingly, the cytotoxicity and aggregation property of a few mutant proteins are known to be modulated by the flanking sequences. One of such modulators is the proline repeat tract. Using a mam...
