Multienzyme complex
A multienzyme complex contains several copies of one or several enzymes (polypeptide chains) packed into one assembly. Multienzyme complex carries out a single or a series of biochemical reactions in the cells. It allows to segregate certain biochemical pathways into one place in the cell. [1]
Examples include pyruvate dehydrogenase, fatty acid synthetase, glutamine synthetase, proteasome, rubisco.
