Abstract excerpt
Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), while wild-type SOD1 has been implicated in sporadic ALS (SALS). SOD1 mutants are now recognized to acquire one or more toxicities that include their association with mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes but the underlying structural mechanism remains unknown. Here we determine NMR conformations of both...
