what is the composition of oligomers?
In chemistry, an oligomer (/ÉËlÉªÉ¡ÉmÉr/ ( listen)[2]) (oligo-, a few + -mer, parts) is a molecular complex that consists of a few monomer units, in contrast to a polymer, where the number of monomers is, in principle, unlimited.[3] Dimers, trimers, and tetramers are, for instance, oligomers composed of two, three and four monomers, respectively. In the context of biochemistry, an oligomer usually refers to a macromolecular complex formed by non-covalent bonding of a few macromolecules like proteins or nucleic acids.
