Abstract excerpt
Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn], or SOD1, is a homo-dimeric protein that functions as an antioxidant by scavenging for superoxides. A wide range of SOD1 variants are linked to inherited, or familial, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease. Aberrant SOD1 oligomerization has been strongly implicated in disease causation, even for sporadic ALS, or SALS, which accounts for ~90 %...
