Dr. Paul Chapple’s research article “AlphaFold predicted structure of the Hsp90-like domains of the neurodegeneration linked protein Sacsin reveals key residues for ATPase activity“ was published in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences in January 2023. The research team used a new technology, AlphaFold – an AI program which performs predictions of protein structure, to look more closely at Sacsin structure and whether it is really like a Hsp90 molecular chaperone, which the data indicates it is. The research on Sacsin/ARSACS was supported by grants from the Ataxia Chalevoix-Saguenay Foundation.
