Question

Difference between homodiamer and heterodimer

Answer 1

A homo dimer is a dimer of same molecules

While heterodimer is the dimer of 2 different molecule

Answer 2

Hey dude,

A protein homodimer is formed by two identical proteins. A protein heterodimer is formed by two different proteins. Most protein dimers in biochemistry are not connected by covalent bonds. An example of a non-covalent heterodimer is the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which is composed of two different amino acid chains.
