Protein Complexes

Protein complexes are groups of two or more proteins that bind together to perform specific biological functions. These interactions allow proteins to work collaboratively, much like a team, enabling processes such as cellular signaling, structural support, and metabolic reactions. The formation of protein complexes is highly regulated, ensuring that the right proteins come together at the right time for efficient functioning. Understanding these complexes helps us learn how cells operate and how disruptions can lead to diseases, making them essential targets for medical research.
