PDI: Polydispersity Index

Protein oligomerization refers to the process by which two or more protein molecules (monomers) associate to form a larger, often functional complex called an oligomer. These oligomers can be composed of identical (homooligomers) or different (heterooligomers) protein subunits. This process is critical in various biological functions and is fundamental to the structure and activity of many proteins.

PDI stands for polydispersity index. It is a numerical measure of the distribution of molecular sizes in a sample, telling you how uniform or varied the molecules are. Keep reading...
