Abstract excerpt
We observed that 14 biologically metallated mutants of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis all exhibited aberrantly accelerated mobility during partially denaturing PAGE and increased sensitivity to proteolytic digestion compared with wild type SOD1. Decreased metal binding site occupancy and exposure to the disulfide-reducing agents dithiothreitol,...
