Abstract excerpt
Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are found in approximately 20% of patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The propensity of mutant SOD1 to form aggregates in pathologically affected cells (i.e. motor neurons) has implicated these poorly soluble protein aggregates and/or their misfolded soluble precursors as being instrumental to the disease process. We investigated the relative solubility...
