Tetramers

The team confirmed another Efimov prediction as well by finding four-body "tetramers" in close proximity to each trimer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Most notably killing the intense tendency to form tetramers. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Like ZsGreen1, this derivative is not as useful for creating fusions as EYFP and has a tendency to form tetramers. ❋ Unknown (2005)

When expressed in mammalian cells, ZsGreen1 is very bright relative to EGFP, but has limited utility in producing fusion mutants and, similar to other reef coral proteins, has a tendency to form tetramers. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Because these probes remain obligate tetramers, they are not the best choice for labeling proteins. ❋ Unknown (2005)

On the downside, similar to most of the other reef coral proteins, this probe has a tendency to form tetramers. ❋ Unknown (2005)

In their natural states, most fluorescent proteins exist as dimers, tetramers, or higher order oligomers. ❋ Unknown (2005)

In fact, in some species of frog, switch regions are merely a region of repetitive AGCT tetramers, which don't even form loops. ❋ Unknown (2006)

It has long been suggested that Ugts functions in ER membranes as dimers in monoglucuronide formation, and may form tetramers in diglucuronide formation ❋ Haiyan Huang Et Al. (2010)

Like a handful of Tootsie Pops ™, dynamin tetramers are held together by long stalk regions with the GTPase domains protruding from their tops. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The conversion of GTP to GDP then causes another change in shape in the tetramers, possibly through a twisting motion on the membrane. ❋ Unknown (2010)

When dynamin assembles into short collars, the GTPase domains of neighboring tetramers form functional dimers that are necessary for GTPase activity and for membrane pinching. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Based on the structure that Chappie, Schmid, Dyda and colleagues described, the scientists suggest that when the GTPase domains from different tetramers pair up the structures of the tetramers shift, making them less stable. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This makes individual IrisFP molecules (monomers) more stable, reducing their tendency for form tetramers. ❋ Unknown (2010)
