Exploration of Protein Aggregations in Parkinson's Disease Through Computational Approaches and Big Data Analytics.

Protein aggregation has been implicated in numerous neurodegenerative disorders whose etiologies are poorly understood, and for which there are no effective treatments. Here we show that the computational approaches may help us to better understand the basics of Parkinson's disease (PD). The high-resolution structural, dynamical, and mechanistic insights delivered by computational studies of protein aggregation have a unique potential to enable the rational manipulation of oligomer formation. Additionally, big data and machine learning methods may provide valuable insights to better understand the nature of proteins involved in PD and their aggregative behavior for the betterment of PD treatment.
