Rotenone binds to NAC region of α-syn causing structural compactness. Conformers of α-syn in the absence and presence of rotenone at 0, 10 and 20 ns of MD run (a). α-Syn retains its “candy-cane” structure, whereas in the presence of rotenone, α-syn structure compacts as measured by the radius of gyration (Rg). Compactness of α-syn structure Rg in the presence (b) and absence of rotenone (d). The structural changes in simulation time of 20 ns predicted using Database of secondary structure prediction (DSSP) plots of α-syn alone (c) and bound to rotenone (eSupplementary information: Fig. S3a–c).
