We give an overview of recent developments in the theory of dimer models. The viewpoint we take is inspired by mirror symmetry. After an introduction to the combinatorics of dimer models, we will first look at dimers in dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, which can be viewed as coming from the A-model in mirror symmetry.

Dimer–Dimer Correlations at the Rough–Smooth Boundary
AbstractThree phases of macroscopic domains have been seen for large but finite periodic dimer models; these are known as the frozen, rough and smooth phases. The transition region between the frozen and rough region has received a lot of attention for the last twenty years and recently work has been underway to understand the rough–smooth transition ...

Dimerization of Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase alpha in living cells
Background Dimerization is an important regulatory mechanism of single membrane-spanning receptors. For instance, activation of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (RPTKs) involves dimerization. Structural, functional and biochemical studies suggested that

Computational characterization of dimerization and ligand binding in biological systems [PDF]
The self-association of proteins to form dimers or higher-order oligomers is a very common phenomenon in biology. Protein dimerization or oligomerization acts as a control tool for the execution of functions in many biological systems. Three systems were

Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) normally function as monomers, although evidence from heterologous expression systems suggests that they may sometimes form homodimers and/or heterodimers.

Lipopeptides as dimerization inhibitors of HIV-1 protease [PDF]
In AIDS therapy, attempts have been made to inhibit the virus-encoded enzymes, e.g, HIV-1 protease, using active site-directed inhibitors. This approach is questionable, however, due to virus mutations and the high toxicity of the drugs, An alternative ...

Dimerization/elimination of β-styrylmalonates under action of TiCl4
A new type of dimerization of dimethyl (β-styryl)malonates in the presence of TiCl4 accompanied by elimination of a methanol molecule was discovered.

Thermokinetic study of the inactivation reaction of 1-methyl phthalazinium ylids [PDF]
The present paper consists in a thermokinetic study on the dimerization reactions of 1-methylphthalazinium ylids with –NO2 (ylid 1) and respectively, –O–CH3 (ylid 2) substituents in the p position of the benzoyl radical bound to the ylidic carbanion ...

Most neurodegenerative diseases have the characteristics of protein folding disorders, i.e., they cause lesions to appear in vulnerable regions of the nervous system, corresponding to protein aggregates that progressively spread through the neuronal ...

Evidence for Dimerization of Dimers in K+ Channel Assembly [PDF]
Voltage-gated K+ channels are tetrameric, but how the four subunits assemble is not known. We analyzed inactivation kinetics and peak current levels elicited for a variety of wild-type and mutant Kv1.3 subunits, expressed singly, in combination, and as tandem constructs, to show that 1) the dominant pathway involves a dimerization of dimers, and 2 ...
