Abstract excerpt
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is a vital enzyme responsible for attenuating oxidative stress through its ability to facilitate the dismutation of the superoxide radical into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The progressive loss of motor neurons characterize amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a crippling neurodegenerative disease that is caused by mutations in the SOD1 gene. In this study, in silico mutational...
