Association peptides

摘要

Peptides that form lightly associated homodimers can be used to form dimers and multimers of other molecules and molecular motifs of interest. These association peptides can dimerize regardless of whether motifs are added to the amino-terminus of the peptide, or the carboxy terminus of the peptide, although additions to the carboxy-terminus of the association peptides require the presence of certain acidic residues.
