- Molecular dimers are assumed to be not directly degraded.
Derivatives dimeric adjective ...- Previous work has shown that these polymerised forms are unstable in acid conditions (such as gastric juice) and that only monomeric, dimeric and trimeric forms are passed to the intestine for absorption.
- There was a previous radiation study of ricin, a dimeric molecule linked by a single disulfide bridge.
- In all cases the monomeric lipid molecule is virtually absent, dimeric or trimeric species predominating in each case.
Origin 1930s: from di-1 'two', on the pattern of polymer. |
