However, some people (such as fellow researcher and colleague Esther Lederberg ) thought that Crick was unduly optimistic citation It was clear that some macromolecule such as a protein was likely to be the genetic molecule.
Note: Applicable to substance macromolecular in nature like cross-linked systems that can be considered as one macromolecule.
Thus, the mobility of each macromolecule depends only on its linear length and its mass-to-charge ratio.
It is believed that the macromolecule accountable for maintaining the dormant state has a protein coat rich in cystine, stabilized by S-S linkages.
For polymerization, the kinetic chain length defined above may differ from the degree of polymerization of the product macromolecule.
