Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of TDP-43 is linked to the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Notably, electrostatic point mutations such as D169G and P112H, located within the highly conserved functional tandem RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains of the TDP-43 protein (TDP-43tRRM), have been identified in diseased patients as well. In this study, we address how the...
