A Kinetic Transition Network Model Reveals the Diversity of Protein Dimer Formation Mechanisms
Protein homodimers have been classified as three-state or two-state dimers depending on whether a folded monomer forms before association, but the details of the folding–binding mechanisms are poorly understood.

Arsenic is a trace element found in the earth’s crust at an average concentration of ∼5 μg/g (ppm). Although its relative abundance in the earth’s crust is about 54th, arsenic can become concentrated in some parts of the world because of natural mineralization. Arsenic is a component of 245 minerals, associated most frequently with other metals such as

Unraveling Hepcidin Plasma Protein Binding: Evidence from Peritoneal Equilibration Testing
Peptide hormone hepcidin regulates systemic iron metabolism and has been described to be partially bound to α2-macroglobulin and albumin in blood. However, the reported degree of hepcidin protein binding varies between <3% and ≈89%.
