Abstract excerpt
Human Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is the primary enzyme in the cellular antioxidant defense system. Mutations in SOD1 are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where protein misfolding and aggregation contribute to the disease pathology. Recently, SOD1 mutants have been shown to undergo phase separation, forming protein-rich droplets that can serve as precursors to the fibrillar aggregates,...
