Abstract
In this issue of Structure, Urbanek et*al. (2020a) combine site-specific isotope labeling and NMR spectroscopy to investigate opposing effects of flanking regions onto the conformation of the poly-Q region in Huntingtin. Poly-Q interactions with preceding residues promote an ?-helical conformation while a following proline-rich region favors extended conformations.
