title: Dimerization and ion binding properties of S100P protein.
abstract: Functional S100P requires dimer formation and dimerization might form for one of the two reasons: i. producing a pair of sites for target protein binding or ii. modulation of cation binding affinity. The extent of exposed protein hydrophobicity was related to dimer formation.
