Protein Dimerization and Oligomerization in Biology [electronic resource] /
Matthews, Jacqueline M.editor.
This volume has a strong focus on homo-oligomerization, which is surprisingly common. However, protein function is so often linked to both homo- and hetero-oligomerization and many heterologous interactions likely evolved from homologous interaction, so this volume also covers many aspects of hetero-oligomerization.
