Abstract excerpt
One of the reasons for the death of motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is known to be formation of subcellular protein aggregates that are caused by mutations in the SOD1 gene. Patient survival time was earlier shown to have limiting correlation with thermostability change of SOD1 mutant forms of patients' carriers. We hypothesized that aggregation of mutant...
