Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) mutations are causative for a subset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. These mutations lead to structural instability, aggregation and ultimately motor neuron death. We have determined crystal structures of SOD1 in complex with a naphthalene-catechol-linked compound which binds with low micro-molar affinity to a site important for oxidative damage-induced...
