Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious neurodegenerative disorder affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that is caused by mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) enzyme. ALS-related mutations cause misfolding, dimerisation instability, and increased formation of aggregates. The underlying allosteric mechanisms, however, remain obscure as far as details of their...
