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...

La maggior parte delle proteine non funziona come catene di polipeptidi completamente estese, ma assemblate in complessi multicomponenti compatti. Durante l'assemblaggio, il complesso crescente deve distinguere i propri componenti specifici in una miscela di centinaia di proteine diverse e specie non proteiche presenti nella cellula. I complessi...
