Macromolecular Nomenclature

Macromolecular nomenclature is a system for naming large molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and synthetic polymers in a consistent way. It involves specific rules to describe their structures, functions, and building blocks clearly. For instance, proteins are named based on their amino acid sequences, while DNA and RNA are named according to their nucleotide compositions. This standardized naming ensures scientists worldwide can communicate accurately about complex molecules, facilitating research, development, and understanding of biological and synthetic materials.
