Abstract excerpt
Intermediate filaments are constructed from two-chain alpha-helical coiled-coil molecules arranged on an imperfect helical lattice. Filament structure and assembly can be influenced at several different structural levels, including molecular structure, oligomer formation and filament nucleation and elongation. Consequently, it can sometimes be difficult to interpret mutagenesis data unequivocally, although...
