Abstract excerpt
Many monomeric proteins can be split into two fragments, yet the two fragments can associate to make an active heterodimer. However, for most locations in a protein such a conversion is not feasible, presumably due to inefficient assembly or improper folding of the fragments. For some locations, this can be overcome by fusion of the fragments to dimerization domains that facilitate correct assembly. A variety of...
