Abstract excerpt
The aberrant aggregation of human superoxide dismutase 1 (hSOD1) into β-sheet-rich amyloid fibrils is a crucial process in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), enhancing motor neuron degeneration and disease progression. The P66R mutation in SOD1 destabilizes local structure and promotes β-sheet-driven fibrillation, which makes it a suitable model for exploring approaches for reducing...
