Eicosameric

{{Short description|Protein complexes or biological polymers with 20 subunits or monomers}} '''Eicosameric''' refers to biological polymers or multimers having exactly twenty 'monomers' (or 20 repeating components).

Protein complexes having exactly 20 subunits are referred to as '''eicosameric''' (or sometimes 20-Meric).

Examples of '''eicosameric''' protein complexes include; * The rat GTPCHI/GFRP stimulatory complex (involved in regulating sub cellular signalling cascades) {{PDB|1is7}}
