Abstract
Transmembrane alpha-helices can associate with one another in lipid bilayers. This association is important in the folding and oligomerization of many integral membrane proteins, and may also play a role in their function. The interactions between helices may be highly specific or relatively non-specific, and their roles may differ accordingly. These two cases are discussed.Entities:
