Abstract excerpt
Misfolding of mutant Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has been implicated in familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A natively folded SOD1 forms a tight homodimer, and the dimer dissociation has been proposed to trigger the oligomerization/aggregation of SOD1. Besides increasing demand for probes allowing the detection of monomerized forms of SOD1 in various applications, the development of probes...
