You mean examples of proteins themselves, or further different
types of symmetry? If the former, howabout the catalytic domain
of dihydrolipoylacteyl transferase which forms the core of the
the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Brookhaven identifier 1EAA.
24 monomers (arranged as 8 trimer building blocks) assemble
with octahedral 432 symmetry.
