Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) protein are found to be the causative factor, behind the majority of familial amyotrophic later sclerosis (FALS) cases. The mutations particularly on the metal (Zn) binding residues are found to increase the disease onset in the individuals suffering from FALS, while the presence of the metal ion (Zn) is essential for the catalytic activity and retaining the...
