Monomer used in a sentence

Monomer in a sentence as a noun

Chloroprene is the monomer of neoprene, meaning that when neoprene breaks down it creates chloroprene?

I am more concerned with absorbed uncured plastic monomer.

>monomer-dimer problemOh hey, I did my undergrad thesis on that!

Polymers are a simple monomer repeated many times.

At one point, an actin filament assembles by having monomers fly directly at the tip and stack neatly together.

The growth is purely statistical: monomers are more likely to stick than to fall off, and more likely to stick than some random unrelated protein is to stick.

It plays its a normal role as a polymerase catalyzing the elongation of a new DNA molecule by adding a monomer.

Absolutely not sure but isn't starch just a long chain of sugars that we can break apart?Might not get it down to a monomer but certainly breaks it apart for the enzymes to have more ends to attack.

This is really what we mean when biologists say that the whole system is driven by thermodynamics.---TL;DR - We break everything down into it's monomer subunits to get it into our bloodstream.

In reality, there are all sorts of molecules just randomly moshing around, and occasionally, an actin monomer will bump into the tip of the filament and stick, because it has a binding site.

Generally speaking the "green" plastics like PLA or PE have non-toxic monomers and are not nearly as durable as the "non-green" plastics like polycarb family, speaking generally, etc.

Diffusion from subcutaneous tissue into the bloodstream depends mostly on the molar mass, and insulin monomers are quantized; diffusing half of a monomer would be faster, but it wouldn't be useful.

The chemistry lends itself to the production of a wide range of different polymer structures, but the sensitivity of the key bond forming/breaking step to starting monomer modification remains to be shown.

An understanding of surface chemistry/analysis, and experience working with nucleic acids in monomer, oligo, long, single stranded, and double stranded forms would also be valuable.

"The analysis showed the worms transformed the polyethylene into ethylene glycol, representing un-bonded 'monomer' molecules.

"The main groups of vaporized compounds generated were monoalkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons and their oxidized products, of which styrene monomer and benzaldehyde were the most abundant.

I think the usage is more clear if you look at some of the other examples in the biochemistry section of the wiki page "...a residue refers to a specific monomer within the polymeric chain of a polysaccharide, protein or nucleic acid.

Consider the accepted establishment theory of epoxy, urethane, or polyester monomer sensitization.
