Abstract excerpt
The neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is associated with the misfolding and aggregation of the metalloenzyme protein superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) via mutations that destabilize the monomer-dimer interface. In a cellular environment, crowding and electrostatic screening play essential roles in the folding and aggregation of the SOD1 monomers. Despite numerous studies on the effects of...
