11. Peptide folding and local unfolding of SOD1 in the presence of interacting macromolecular crowders - a Monte Carlo approach
Sammanfattning : A protein chain often folds into a functional, specific three dimensional structure. Failurein this process can in some cases lead to disease, e.g. the misfolding disease ALS. LÄS MER
12. On the aetiology of ALS : a comprehensive genetic study
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a deadly, progressive neuromuscular disease that affects individuals all over the world. About 10% of the patients have a familial predisposition (FALS) while the remainder of cases are isolated or sporadic (SALS) and of unknown cause. LÄS MER
13. Mutant superoxide dismutase-1-caused pathogenesis in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease that affects people in their late mid-life, with fatal outcome usually within a few years. The progressive degeneration of neurons responsible for muscle movement (motor neurons) throughout the central nervous system (CNS) leads to muscle wasting and paralysis, and eventually affects respiratory function.

14. Diffusive interactions play an important role in protein stability and mobility : Investigations of the intracellular milieu using in-cell NMR
Sammanfattning : Proteins are crucial for all cellular life. Every signal received by a cell, and every response to it, is mediated by proteins. Inside cells, these proteins diffusively sample each other’s surfaces, as they travel through the cytoplasm in search of their specific interaction partners. LÄS MER
15. Superoxide dismutase 1 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons in the spinal cord, brain stem and motor cortex, leading to paralysis, respiratory failure and death. In about 5% of ALS cases, the disease is associated with mutations in the CuZn-superoxide dismutase (hSOD1) gene. LÄS MER
