Abstract excerpt
This protocol describes a method to purify SOD1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to characterize using ICP-MS and AFM, to agitate and fibrillate for aggregation of SOD1. The human SOD1 (hSOD1) is a 32-kDa homodimer, with one copper- and one zinc-binding site per 153-amino acid subunit. Misfolded protein aggregates are often correlated with diseases known as amyloidosis, including ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and...
