Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a lethal neurodegenerative disorder is characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neuron. ALS occurs due to various notably prominent missense mutations, in gene encoding Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) thereby leading to aggregation, dysfunction and reduced Zn binding affinity. In this study, one such mutation, G85R was explored in comparison with wild type...
