Target intelligence / Profile preview

Macromolecule

Molecular classification: Carbohydrate, Protein, Nucleic Acid, Lipid

Overview

A very large molecule formed by polymerization of smaller units called monomers. The main types found in living organisms are carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids (all true polymers), plus lipids which share similar properties but may lack strict polymeric structure. Their size/complexity enables them to carry out essential structural/catalytic/informational roles within cells.
