A repeat unit or repeating unit , or mer, is a part of a polymer whose repetition would produce the complete polymer chain (except for the end groups)...

slippage results in a change of just one repeat unit, and slippage rates vary for different allele lengths and repeat unit sizes, and within different species...

simple example is polyethylene ('polythene' in British English), whose repeat unit or monomer is ethylene. Many other structures do exist; for example,...

polymerized into a long chain. There may be more than one structural unit in the repeat unit. When different monomers are polymerized, a copolymer is formed...

building the pentasaccharide repeat unit. This links the synthesis of xanthan to carbohydrate metabolism. The repeat units are built up at undecaprenylphosphate...

number of monomeric units. Some authors, however, define DP as the number of repeat units, where for copolymers the repeat unit may not be identical...

observed between microsatellite alleles are generally multiples of the repeat unit length. Satellite DNA adopts higher-order three-dimensional structures...

These tandem repeats commonly fold together to form a solenoid protein domain, termed leucine-rich repeat domain. Typically, each repeat unit has beta strand-turn-alpha...

category of polymers that contain one or two ester linkages in every repeat unit of their main chain. As a specific material, it most commonly refers...

dendronised polymers; from dendro- 'tree') are linear polymers to every repeat unit of which dendrons are attached. Dendrons are regularly-branched, tree-like...

increase or decrease by a single repeat unit at a fixed rate (i.e. by the addition or subtraction of one repeat unit per generation) and these changes...

repeats. When much larger lengths of nucleotides are repeated, on the order of 1,000 nucleotides, it is called a macrosatellite. When the repeat unit...

oxide. The inosilicate (chain silicate) structure of rhodonite has a repeat unit of five silica tetrahedra. The rare polymorph pyroxmangite, formed at...

comprising many units, that has at least one feature which is not present in the adjacent portions. A possible sequence of repeat units A and B in a triblock...

molecules subsequently processed into unit-length small RNAs, plus some longer forms of 2, 3, or more spacer-repeat units. In 2005, yogurt researcher Rodolphe...

Repeated sequences (also known as repetitive elements, repeating units or repeats) are short or long patterns that occur in multiple copies throughout...

sheet-like monomolecular macromolecule consisting of laterally connected repeat units with end groups along all edges. This recent definition of 2DP is based...

configuration relative to the preceding unit. Monotactic macromolecules have one stereoisomeric atom per repeat unit,[not verified in body] ditactic to n-tactic...

repeat unit by the number of protons continued in the repeat unit. For this case, Xn = n = 100/2, and therefore Xn = 50, or there are 50 repeat units...

one or more units. In long repeats, expansions may involve two or more units. For example, insertion of a single repeat unit in GAGAGA expands the sequence...

have identified a few more enzymes that attach unique sugars to the WTA repeat units. A set of enzymes and transporters named DltABCE that adds alanines to...

samples. A short tandem repeat is a microsatellite with repeat units that are 2 to 7 base pairs in length, with the number of repeats varying among individuals...

Polyphthalamide TPA/hexamethylenediamine (6T) repeat unit Polyphthalamide TPA/methylpentanediamine (DT) repeat unit If more than 55% of the acid part of a PPA...

fishing rods, tennis rackets and bicycle frames. It is a component repeat unit in several important copolymers, such as styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN)...

batch process. Also, the chlorine on the phenyl ring of the parylene C repeat unit is problematic for RoHS compliance, especially for the printed circuit...

an allotrope of carbon that has the chemical structure (−C≡C−)n as a repeat unit, with alternating single and triple bonds. It would thus be the ultimate...

of the two PEG blocks is 101 repeat units, while the approximate length of the propylene glycol block is 56 repeat units. This particular compound is...

polybutadiene. S represents in the figure the styrene repeat unit B the butadiene repeat unit. However, the middle block often does not consist of such...

of nylon 66, the polymerization produces two molecules of water per repeat unit: n H2N-X-NH2 + n HO2C-Y-CO2H → [HN-X-NHC(O)-Y-C(O)]n + (2n-1) H2O Another...

effective conjugation extended over 11 repeat units, while later studies increased this estimate to 20 units. Using the absorbance and emission profile...
