Abstract excerpt
SOD1 misfolding leads to protein aggregation, which is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS. The effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as a potent anti-amyloidogenic polyphenol on the G138E-SOD1 mutant was investigated using computational/experimental approaches. MD simulation results (RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, PCA, and FEL) showed that EGCG binding stabilizes the mutant in a structure...
