oligomeerissä
Oligomeri refers to a molecule composed of a small number of repeating monomer units. The term "oligo-" comes from the Greek word "oligos," meaning "few." This distinguishes oligomers from polymers, which consist of a large number of repeating units, and monomers, which are single repeating units. The exact number of repeating units that defines an oligomer can vary depending on the context, but it is generally understood to be between two and a few dozen.
Oligomers can be formed from a variety of monomers, including small organic molecules, nucleotides, amino acids,
The properties of an oligomer are generally intermediate between those of a monomer and a high molecular
