Abstract

The P22 tailspike protein is a well-studied model system for understanding multimeric protein folding and aggregation. It is one of the few systems for which both in vivo and in vitro folding pathways have been well characterized. Aggregation of the P22 tailspike occurs through a multimeric addition pathway in which both monomeric and multimeric protein can associate with existing aggregates promoting aggregate growth.
