1 In this study we correlated the metal contents and disulfide bond status of purified wild-type (WT) and mutant SOD1 proteins to changes in electrophoretic mobility and surface hydrophobicity as detected by 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) fluorescence.

2 This increased interaction with ANS was greater for the mutant SOD1s and could be reversed by the addition of metal ions, especially Cu(2+), even for SOD1 variants incapable of forming the disulfide bond. Metals superoxide dismutase 1 Homo sapiens
