Protein Dimerization and Oligomerization in Biology

Protein Dimerization and Oligomerization in Biology (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology) by Jacqueline M. Matthews (Editor)

This volume has a strong focus on homo-oligomerization, which is surprisingly common. However, protein function is so often linked to both homo- and hetero-oligomerization and many heterologous interactions likely evolved from homologous interaction, so this volume also covers many aspects of hetero-oligomerization.
