What is the size of eIF4E?
Could you please clarify the context of your question about the size of eIF4E? eIF4E, or eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E, is a protein involved in the initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotes. When referring to its size, are you inquiring about its molecular weight, its physical dimensions, or perhaps its role in the context of a larger complex? If you're asking about its molecular weight, eIF4E typically has a molecular weight in the range of around 21-25 kDa, depending on the specific isoform and post-translational modifications. If you have a different aspect of its size in mind, please elaborate so I can provide a more accurate answer.
