polyenyyliset
Polyenyyliset are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of multiple alternating double bonds in a carbon chain. These compounds are often referred to as polyenes due to the presence of multiple "ene" units, which are derived from the Greek word for "oil" (elaion). Polyenyyliset compounds are found in various natural sources, including plants, fungi, and marine organisms. They play significant roles in biological systems, often acting as pigments, toxins, or signaling molecules.
The most well-known polyenyyliset compounds are the carotenoids, which are responsible for the vibrant colors of
The study of polyenyyliset compounds is an active area of research in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Researchers
