Structure of Ultra Stable Superoxide Dismutase from Thermophile has Implications for Understanding Lou Gehrig’s Disease
In a recent article in the Journal of Molecular Biology a paper has been published exploring the ability of prokaryotic thermophiles to supply stable human protein homologs for structural biology. The authors have made use of an unusual deep-sea hydrothermal-vent worm called Alvinella pompejana. This worm has been found in temperatures averaging as high as…
