WHAT DOES OLIGOMER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Oligomer

In chemistry, an oligomer is a molecular complex that consists of a few monomer units, in contrast to a polymer that, at least in principle, consists of a nearly unlimited number of monomers. Dimers, trimers, and tetramers are, for instance, oligomers respectively composed of two, three and four monomers. In the context of biochemistry, an oligomer is usually referred to as a macromolecular complex formed by non-covalent bonding of a few macromolecules like proteins or nucleic acids. In this sense, a homo-oligomer would be formed by few identical molecules and by contrast, a hetero-oligomer would be made of three different macromolecules. Collagen is an example of homo-oligomeric protein that is composed of three identical protein chains. The term multimer is used with a meaning similar to that of oligomer in the context of proteins. IUPAC definition Oligomer molecule: A molecule of intermediate relative molecular mass, the structure of which essentially comprises a small plurality of units derived, actually or conceptually, from molecules of lower relative molecular mass.
