Monomers of Macromolecule Polymers

Monomer Research of Polymer
In heaven and earth, everything has its own origin. In terms of polymer, monomer is the base of its fundamental composition.

Polymer, a wide variety of different properties, however, its source, are all polymerized from monomers. Sugar polymers, the monomers of which are mostly simple sugars. Monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, have unique chemical structures and properties. The monosaccharides are connected by specific bonds to form the structure of sugar polymers.

Protein polymers, the monomers of which are amino acids. Amino acids, there are more than 20 kinds. Each amino acid contains amino and carboxyl groups, which are connected to each other by peptide bonds and interwoven into the complex structure of proteins. This structure determines the function of protein diversity, either catalysis or transportation, and is indispensable for life activities.

Nucleic acid polymer, the monomer of which is a nucleotide. Nucleotide is composed of nitrogenous bases, pentacosaccharides and phosphate groups. Different nucleotides are polymerized into nucleic acids according to the principle of complementary pairing of bases, which carry genetic information and control the inheritance and variation of life.

Lipid polymers, although complex in structure, also have their monomers. Such as glycerol and fatty acids, which are common lipid monomers. The two are connected by ester bonds to form different types of lipids, which are related to the construction and energy storage of biological membranes.

From the perspective of monomers in polymers, it is like masonry in Guangsha, and silk thread in brocade. Understanding the properties and polymerization methods of monomers is the key to understanding the mysteries of polymers, and it is also the key to exploring the microstructure and function of all things.
