The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a protein complex. The formation of a protein tetramer, a macromolecular structure consisting of four noncovalently associated identical or nonidentical subunits. The formation of a protein homotetramer, a macromolecular structure consisting of four noncovalently associated identical subunits. The formation of a protein heterotetramer, a macromolecular structure consisting of four noncovalently associated subunits, of which not all are identical. The process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of component monomers; protein oligomers may be composed of different or identical monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer.
