sidokedjor

Sidokedjor is a term with limited use in English-language sources and does not have a widely recognized definition. It appears to be a compound noun from Scandinavian languages (notably Norwegian and Swedish) formed from elements meaning "side" and "chains" and would translate literally as "side chains."

In context, sidokedjor would typically function as a direct translation of "side chains" in disciplines such as polymer chemistry, where side chains are substituent chains attached to a main polymer backbone; it could also appear in discussions of molecular structure in chemistry, biochemistry, or materials science when Norwegian or Swedish texts render "side chains" as sidokedjor.

Because sidokedjor is not standardized in English, writers should translate to "side chains" when writing for an English-speaking audience, and treat sidokedjor as a potential spelling variant or translation rather than a distinct technical term. If used as a proper noun (for example, a project name or product), it should be defined in the first occurrence with sources.
