WHAT DOES DIMERIZE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Protein dimer

In biochemistry, a dimer is a macromolecular complex formed by two, usually non-covalently bound, macromolecules like proteins or nucleic acids. It is a quaternary structure of a protein. A homo-dimer would be formed by two identical molecules. A hetero-dimer would be formed by two different macromolecules. Most dimers in biochemistry are not connected by covalent bonds. An example of a non-covalent heterodimer would be the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which is composed of two different amino acid chains. An exception is dimers that are linked by disulfide bridges such as the homodimeric protein NEMO. Some proteins contain specialized domains to ensure dimerization.

Definition of dimerize in the English dictionary

The definition of dimerize in the dictionary is to react or cause to react to form a dimer.
