Dimerization is a research area focused on the formation of dimers, which are molecules composed of two identical or similar subunits called monomers. This process typically involves the binding together of two monomers to form a stable complex, leading to changes in the properties and functions of the molecules involved. Dimerization can occur in various biological systems, including proteins, nucleic acids, and receptors, and plays a crucial role in signal transduction, gene regulation, and other cellular processes. Studying dimerization can provide insights into molecular interactions, protein structure-function relationships, and potential therapeutic targets for various diseases.
