These are formed from identical protein subunits called capsomeres.
The "particles" in this application are clusters of protein subunits arranged on a shell.
The virus is icosahedral and the coat consists of 20 identical protein subunits.
Another way to unmask such a signal is by the regulated dissociation of a protein subunit.
A dodecamer is a protein complex with 12 protein subunits.
In biochemistry, it may apply to the protein subunits.
The synthetases are usually composed of one to four protein subunits.
These functional regions consist of different protein subunits - refer to tables.
The clamps are multiple protein subunits associated in the shape of a ring.
In this case, a complex made of several different protein subunits is called a hetero-oligomer or heteromer.
