Abstract excerpt
Impairment of the Zn(II)-binding site of the copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) protein is involved in a number of hypotheses and explanations for the still unknown toxic gain of function mutant varieties of CuZnSOD that are associated with familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this work, computational chemistry methods have been used for studying models of the metal-binding site of...
