Abstract excerpt
Neurotoxic species of misfolded hSOD1 are involved in the process of causing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is a devastating neurodegenerative disease. Considerable evidence exists on that hSOD1 mutants-mediated toxicity is resulted from gain-of-function, while the mechanism of this toxicity is unknown yet. In the present study, we focused on the possible mechanism of two point-mutations (namely L67P...
