A model for studying the symmetry of stable states arising from polyenzymic complex conformations is proposed. A formal scheme of submolecular structure self-assembly, on which the model is based, enables it not only to limit the class of conformations but in some cases to determine the structure of a complex in an unambigous manner. The model is shown in its application to polyenzymic complexes of dehydrogenases of alpha-keto acids.
