Term Name: protein complex oligomerization
Synonyms: protein multimerization, protein oligomer assembly, protein oligomer biosynthesis, protein oligomer biosynthetic process, protein oligomer formation, protein oligomerization
Definition: The process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of component monomers; protein oligomers may be composed of different or identical monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer.
