3-dimensional domain swapping is a mechanism where two or more protein molecules form higher order oligomers by exchanging identical or similar subunits.
The coking mostly results from the oligomerization of ethylene, because activated ethylene easily reacts with other ethylene molecules to form higher polymer.
Some small molecules must form higher order colloidal aggregates to inhibit amyloid assembly (Feng et al., 2008; Young et al., 2015).
The p43/p10 on the outer mitochondrial membrane is cross-linked to other p43/p10 molecules to form high-molecular weight oligomers, reinforcing this view.
Using circular dichroism, we find that 2 mutants affect the alpha-helical coiled-coil structure of individual molecules, and 2 mutants disrupt the lateral associations among individual molecules necessary to form higher-order assemblies, helping explain the dominant effects of these mutants.
A major part of the remaining relatively low-value bottom-of-the-barrel fractions (HGO and VGO in this example) are converted to desired products by the actions of the FCC catalyst, in which molecules are cracked to form high-octane rating products.
The behaviour of adsorbed species formed predominantly in the potential range from 0 to 400 mV differs significantly from that of labelled molecules formed at higher potentials.
These mimotopes had similar relative binding affinity to the respective MHC molecule however formed higher affinity interactions with CT-TCR which recognize the wild-type peptide.
In contrast, each molecule of VEGF Trap forms an inert 1 to 1 complex with VEGF, and cannot form higher order complexes [ 35].
Cross-linkage assays using bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate (BS3) reagent indicated that the majority of both the Dpy30 C-terminal domain and the Dpy30FL molecules form dimers, while a small percentage of molecules forms trimers, tetramers, and higher-order oligomers.
