click on an entry, and from its atlas page you can get the Quaternary structure

Morning,

I think Andrew meant PDB 2gd1 and 1gd1 (has 4 NAD)
DOI    10.1016/0022-2836(88)90130-1

Hi Fred,

If your tetramer show negative cooperativity between the 4 sites for ligand binding, then it is possible to get a tetramer with (say) only one subunit occupied by ligand, which can introduce considerable asymmetry if ligand binding gives rise to a hinge type closure of two domains around the ligand site. An example of this is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase which has been solved with one, two (and possibly 3) NADs bound per tetramer. I'm afraid you will need to do a literature search to find the references, but AJ Wonacott will be one of the authors.

Cheers

Andrew

Dear CCP4bb,
Could someone please, point me to some references about non-symmetric tetramers? If I have a tetramer composed by 4 identical subunits, it'll always have a P4 point group symmetry?
Thank in advance,
Tomb
