Examples
-
But because GFP at least didn't have a tetramerization or severe dimerization problem – it only has a very mild one – that sort of got people hooked on what a wonderful tool this whole system was.
-
Although metallacyclopentanes are not important in olefin metathesis, they have been found to be important in a variety of other olefin dimerization reactions.
-
This is a particular concern when conducting FRET experiments, which can yield complex data sets that are easily compromised by dimerization artifacts.

An interesting HcRed construct containing two molecules in tandem has been produced to overcome dimerization that, in principle, occurs preferentially within the tandem pairing to produce a monomeric tag.

However, when fluorescent proteins are targeted to specific cellular compartments, such as the plasma membrane, the localized protein concentration can theoretically become high enough to permit dimerization.

Clearly, full functionality of AID requires both the catalytic and non-catalytic domains, and issues of inter-domain compatibility, effects on protein folding and dimerization AID is thought to act as a dimer - two AID molecules sticking together as in the model shown in figure 2 of this paper by our collaborators, as well as potential interactions with co-factors may all contribute to the decreased activity of the fugu sequence.
