metatekstides
Metatekstides are a hypothetical class of biomolecules that have been proposed in theoretical biological research. The concept of metatekstides centers around the idea that a molecule could carry information not only in its primary sequence, like proteins or nucleic acids, but also in a secondary or tertiary structural layer that acts as a "text" or "code" for biological processes. This meta-information could potentially influence gene expression, protein folding, or cellular signaling in ways not directly dictated by the linear arrangement of monomers.
The term "metatekstides" itself suggests a layered informational system, where "meta" refers to a higher level
