Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It has been proposed that neuronal cell death might occur due to inappropriately increased Cu interaction with mutant SOD1. Using Cu immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC), we showed that mutant SOD1 (A4V, G85R, and G93A) expressed in transfected COS7 cells, transgenic mouse spinal cord tissue, and...
