Abstract excerpt
Mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) may form cyclic structures due to its greater instability from aberrant demetallization and oxidation of cysteine bonds. This cyclic structure may allow SOD1 to form ion channels on membranes such as the mitochondrial membrane, causing imbalances in the concentration of intracellular ions as a potential mechanism for the progressive neuron death involved in amyotrophic lateral...
