Intermediate-filament forming proteins are known to form rod-shaped dimers that are calculated to be 45 nm in length. Molecular modeling indicates that the dimerization is promoted by interchain hydrophobic interactions between sections of (Y helix and p helix. Further aggregation involves the forma
