heteropentamerisiä
Heteropentamerisia refers to a class of molecular complexes composed of five subunits, where these subunits are not all identical. The term "hetero" signifies difference in composition, while "pentamer" indicates a structure made of five units. Therefore, a heteropentamer is a macromolecule assembled from five polypeptide chains or other molecular components that differ in their amino acid sequence or structure.
This type of complex is common in biological systems, particularly in protein structures. For example, certain
