What is it about?
We have applied three techniques (atomic force microscopy, gel assays and surface plasmon resonance) to study the subunit assembly of an enzyme called EcoR124I, known as a Type IC Restriction–Modification enzyme.

Why is it important?
The paper shows that this multi-subunit enzyme is an ideal model system for studying protein-protein interactions.
Perspectives
This paper also explains how to retrieve molecular volume information of proteins from AFM images and compare such data to theoretical volumes derived from molecular mass.
