Abstract excerpt
Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has been implicated in the familial form of the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It has been suggested that mutant mediated SOD1 misfolding/aggregation is an integral part of the pathology of ALS. We study the folding thermodynamics and kinetics of SOD1 using a hybrid molecular dynamics approach. We reproduce the experimentally observed SOD1 folding...
