The cytoplasmic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn SOD; SOD-1) is an abundant and well-conserved intracellular antioxidant enzyme which has been implicated in a number of oxidative stress mediated phenomena, especially Down Syndrome, in which SOD-1 activity is increased due to triplication of

## Abstract Despite the general capacity of peripheral nervous system to regenerate, peripheral nerve injury is often followed by incomplete recovery of function, sometimes with the burden of neuropathic pain. The mechanisms of both regeneration and nociception have not been clarified, but it is kn
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive paralytic disorder resulting from the degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord and leading to death within 5 years of symptom onset. The great majority of ALS cases are sporadic, with the familial form (FALS) representing fewer t
Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) is a ubiquitously occurring eukaryotic enzyme with a variety of important effects on respiring organisms. A gene (dhsod-1) encoding a Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase of the marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii was cloned using mRNA by the RT-PCR technique. The deduced ami
An extensive series of three-dimensional, triple resonance experiments were performed on a fully labeled 13C, 15N monomeric form of human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase which contains 153 amino acids. The present system, in addition to the mutations at the subunit-subunit interface (Phe50 Γ Glu, G
