The multienzyme complex is an example of heterologous protein-protein interaction in a functional complex. The known multienzyme complexes consist of 2-7 different catalytic units associated noncovalently, with no associated lipids, nucleic acids or enzymatically inactive protein. 4, record 1, English, - multienzyme%20complex

Les enzymes ne sont pas distribuées au hasard dans la cellule. Elles sont localisées dans divers compartiments cellulaires et fréquemment elles sont disposées de façon ordonné dans le réseau macromoléculaire de la cellule et des organites cellulaires pour former ce qu'on appelle un système multi-enzymatique. 3, record 1, French, - complexe%20multienzymatique

[Dans le cas de thérapie génique et pour ne pas risquer de voir apparaître une nouvelle symptomatologie]. Cette dernière éventualité (risquer de voir apparaître une nouvelle symptomatologie) est à prendre en considération lorsque le gène muté code pour une sous-unité d'une protéine hétéropolymérique, puisque la quantité de sous-unités non intéressées par la mutation constitue alors un facteur limitant; l'hyperexpression du transgène thérapeutique pourrait donc faire apparaître un excès de formes homopolymériques anormales toxiques pour la cellule. 1, record 2, French, - h%C3%A9t%C3%A9ropolym%C3%A9rique
