Abstract excerpt
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of many diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) where aggregation of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is implicated in pathogenesis. We report here that fully metallated (holo) SOD1 under physiologically relevant solution conditions can undergo changes in metallation and/or dimerization over time and form aggregates that do not exhibit classical...
