| Popis: | Association between biological macromolecules by non-covalent interactions is not only a wide-spread phenomenon in nature but also is of invaluable importance for life processes. In most cases the association is practically irreversible under experimentally accessible conditions, but a few examples are known where a reversible association-dissociation equilibrium can be studied. Such studies are of basic importance for the understanding of the association mechanisms and thus for the questions concerning the self-organization of living material. In addition, association-dissociation equilibria also must be assumed to play an important part in the regulative systems of the organisms. Very little data is available for the parameters of the micro-environment of the biological macromolecules in the different cell compartments, so that in vitro studies of regulative processes under a wide variety of solvent conditions are not only of academic interest. In the present review some examples of association... |
