Decreased Zinc Affinity of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‐Associated Superoxide Dismutase Mutants Leads to Enhanced Catalysis of Tyrosine Nitration by Peroxynitrite

Abstract
Mutations to Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) linked to familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) enhance an unknown toxic reaction that leads to the selective degeneration of motor neur...
