SNCA and nervous system disorder: Here, we used structure-based computational methods to optimize the binding affinity of VHNAC1, a single-domain intracellular antibody (intrabody) from the camelid family that was selected for its specific binding to the nonamyloid component (NAC) of human α-synuclein (α-syn), a natively disordered protein, implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related neurological disorders.
