Abstract excerpt
S134N copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is one of the many mutant SOD1 proteins known to cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Earlier studies demonstrated that partially metal-deficient S134N SOD1 crystallized in filament-like arrays with abnormal contacts between the individual protein molecules. Because protein aggregation is implicated in SOD1-linked familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,...
