Macromolecule Summary
305 words, approx. 1 pages
Macromolecules, also called polymers, are compounds that are made up of multiple, smaller repeating units called monomers. These monomers are generally bonded together in a chain-like manner creating a molecular backbone. Depending on the type of...

Macromolecule Information
474 words, approx. 2 pages
The term macromolecule by definition implies "large molecule". In the context of biochemistry, the term may be applied to the four conventional biopolymers (nucleotides, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids), as well as non-polymeric molecules with large...

Developing nanoparticle drug carriers
1/1/2007: 3,101 words, approx. 10 pages
Nanoparticulate drug carriers include a class of particles made of polymers or lipids that — because of their size and chemical composition —permit systemic and local treatment. In general, these systems are expected to protect a drug from degradation, enhance drug absorption by facilitating diffusion...

What Is the Role of a Macromolecule?
1,536 words, approx. 5 pages
The term macromolecules is sometimes used to refer to aggregates of two or more macromolecules held together by intermolecular forces rather then by chemical bonds. Another common macromolecule property that does not characterize smaller molecules is the need for assistance in dissolving into solution.
