In silico studies reveal structural deviations of mutant profilin-1 and interaction with riluzole and edaravone in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Abstract This study aimed to investigate four of the eight PFN-1 mutations that are located near the actin-binding domain and determine the structural changes due to each mutant and unravel how these mutations alter protein structural behavior. Swapaa’s command in UCSF chimera for generating mutatio...
