Abstract excerpt
Protein misfolding and aggregation due to mutations, are associated with fatal neurodegenerative disorders. The mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) causing its misfolding and aggregation are found linked to the motor neuron disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since the mutations are scattered throughout SOD1 structure, determining the exact molecular mechanism underlying the ALS pathology remains...
