what is the monomer in a fat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A monomer (/ËmÉnÉmÉr/ MON-É-mÉr) (mono-, one + -mer, part) is a molecule that may bind chemically or supramolecularly to other molecules to form a (supramolecular) polymer. The process by which monomers combine to form a polymer is called polymerization. Molecules made of a small number of monomer units (up to a few dozen) are called oligomers. The term monomeric protein may also be used to describe one of the proteins making up a multiprotein complex.
