Results from our forumHelp with NFKB... particular I don't know if I have to use only one antibody (for example anti-NFKB P65) or also anti-NFKB p50 that interacts with p65 to form heterodimer.... Thank You very much for help!

Can RNA anneal to single stranded DNA?I'm not sure if my terminology is correct, but could you have a DNA-RNA heterodimer? I'm thinking particularly about whether an mRNA transcript that was not translated could act like a transcription factor.

Re: dimer-homodimer-heterodimer... the sizing column) will tell you if it’s a monomer, dimer, trimer, or whatever. If there is more than one N-terminal sequence present, then it’s a heterodimer or multimer of some sort. It is possible to do a mass spec, too.

dimer-homodimer-heterodimerhi i have some questions in generall. how do you find out if an enzyme is a dimer, and if it is a homo- or heterodimer? perhaps it is a stupid question, I don´t know... and does it have some interesting consequences for its function if it is an homodimer or a heterodimer?
