How can you use “homodimer” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

It contains 12 TM-helices in a homodimer of two 6-TM-helical bundles, which form a central chamber to translocate substrates.
However, since coat protein is a symmetric homodimer, substitutions are necessarily introduced simultaneously into both halves of the molecule, making it difficult to distinguish the separate effects of mutations on binding of different halves of the asymmetric RNA ligand.
The UCSD–NIDCR team subsequently showed that the T1R2 and T1R3 heterodimer (a complex of one T1R2 and one T1R3 molecule) forms a broadly tuned sweet receptor, responsive to natural sugars and artificial sweeteners, and that a homodimer of two T1R3 molecules forms a low-affinity sugar receptor that responds to high concentrations of natural sugars only.
Thus, these specific active residues apparently emerged after the divergence of the β and β' subunit DPBBs, whereas the ancestral DPBB homodimer probably did not have catalytic activity and merely bound a ribozyme that originally catalyzed the RNA polymerization.
The RNase H activity seen in case of the p66 WT/p51 INSmutant was not surprising since the p66 WTsubunit of the p66 WT/p51 INSmutant tends to self-dimerize and form the catalytically active p66 homodimer.
