Multiple-State Monitoring of SOD1 Amyloid Formation at Single-Residue Resolution by Rheo-NMR Spectroscopy
Formation of protein aggregates or fibrils entails the conversion of soluble native protein monomers via multiple molecular states. No spectroscopic techniques have succeeded in capturing the transient molecular-scale events of fibrillation in situ. Here we report residue- and state-specific real-time monitoring of the fibrillation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-related SOD1 by rheology NMR (Rheo-NMR) spectroscopy. Under moderately denaturing conditions, where NMR signals of folded and...
