Abstract excerpt
Aggregate formation of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) inside motor neurons is known as a major factor in onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The thermodynamic stability of the SOD1 β-barrel has been shown to decrease in crowded environments such as inside a cell, but it remains unclear how the thermodynamics of crowding-induced protein destabilization relate to SOD1 aggregation. Here we have examined the...
