How Proteins Self-Assemble in Cells
Description
Proteins can self-assemble into working complexes inside cells. Some complexes are homomeric, which means they contain more than one copy of the same protein. Others are heteromeric, which means they are built from different protein types.
Most protein complexes form through ordered self-assembly...

Transcript
La mayoría de las proteínas no funcionan como cadenas polipeptídicas completamente extendidas, sino que se ensamblan en complejos compactos multicomponentes. Durante el ensamblaje, el complejo en crecimiento debe distinguir sus componentes específicos de una mezcla de cientos de diferentes especies de proteínas y no proteínas presentes en la cél...
