Abstract excerpt
A progressive neurodegenerative illness such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the misfolding and aggregation of human CuZn superoxide dismutase (hSOD1) into amyloid aggregates. Thus, designing strategies for the choice of WT-SOD1 and double mutant (G12D/G138E) with an increased net negative charge can be a good idea to elucidate the pathological mechanism of SOD1 in ALS under some...
