N2 - Protein aggregates, hereunder amyloid fibrils, can undergo a maturation process, whereby early formed aggregates undergo a structural and physicochemical transition leading to more mature species. In the case of amyloid-related diseases, such maturation confers distinctive biological properties of the aggregates, which may account for a range of diverse pathological subtypes. Here, we present a protocol for the preparation of α-synuclein amyloid fibrils differing in the level of their maturation. We utilize widely accessible biophysical techniques to characterize the structure and morphology and a simple thermal treatment procedure to test their thermodynamic stability. Their biological properties are probed by means of binding to native plasma membrane sheets originating from mammalian cell lines.
