Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) has a high propensity to misfold and form abnormal aggregates when it is subjected to oxidative stress or carries mutations associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the transition from functional soluble SOD1 protein to aggregated SOD1 protein is not completely clear. Here, we propose that liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) represents a biophysical process...
