Examples
-
The overall shape of a sequence of the molecules in a particular stretch of DNA is such that it combines with a molecule (or collection of molecules) that we designate "RNA polymerase", to form a holoenzyme that catalyzes the addition of a particular ribonucleotide to a string of nucleotides, which we call "RNA".

The tRNA is combined with a particular amino acid; the holoenzyme catalyzes the transfer of the amino acid to the amino acid string attached to another part of the holoenzyme.

The RNA, suitably edited, leaves the nucleus to combine with a ribosome and a tRNA, to form yet another holoenzyme.

It is interesting to stress that the lower physical chemical stability of hybrid holoenzyme complexes does not raises functionality problems.
