Definition of tetramer in English: tetramernoun ˈtɛtrəməˈtetrəmər Chemistry A polymer comprising four monomer units. Example sentencesExamples - Numerous studies suggest that the smallest multimer with full catalytic activity is a tetramer or an octamer.
- We find that the tetramer and the dimer become less stable than the monomer as the pH is lowered.
- This analysis also explains why most repressers and activators bind as dimers and tetramers, not trimers or pentamers.
- Proanthocyanidin mixtures from grapes are a combination of dimers, trimers, tetramers, oligomers, and polymers.
- The tetramer is the functional unit of hemoglobin and its constituent chains are in communication with one another.
Derivatives adjective Chemistry The expression products of these genes can assemble to various different tetrameric isozymes, and the regulation of this allows the synthesis of organ-specific catalases. Example sentencesExamples - Vertebrate hemoglobins are tetrameric molecules comprised of two distinct polypeptide chains.
- It is important to note that, in contrast to coral GFP-like proteins, the new Hydrozoa fluorescent proteins are dimeric rather than tetrameric, whereas the new chromoprotein appears to be a monomer.
- First, by lowering the pH the tetrameric structure of the protein is disrupted and is disassociated into a monomeric structure, which is structurally different from the monomer at normal pH.
- For example, plant monomeric forms, composed only of catalytic subunits, are relatively common in plant species and coexist with higher molecular weight forms (presumably tetrameric, according to its molecular size).
