Hello all,

I am a bioinformatician with a theory question. What does it mean when two proteins are described as 'constitutively associated' as opposed to 'dynamically associated'? What does that say about the protein-protein interaction involved and how does one provide evidence for that type of association?

Many thanks,

L.C.

constitutively associated means in terms of normally associated, wherease dynamically associated means that the association depends on certain circumstances; the latter may reflect a regulation of the association
