DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113346
Abstract: Oligomerization endows proteins with some key properties such as extra-stabilization, long-range allosteric regulation(s), and partnerships not accessible to their monomeric counterparts. How oligomerization is achieved and preserved during evolution is a subject of remarkable scientific… read more here.
