Cryo-EM structure of an amyloid fibril formed by full-length human SOD1 reveals its conformational conversion

Misfolded SOD1 has been linked to both familial and sporadic ALS. Here the authors have determined the cryo-EM structure of SOD1 fibrils, providing insights into the conversion of SOD1 from its immature form into an aggregated form during pathogenesis of ALS.
