a monomer is single unit of protein molecule while a dimer is double unit of the monomer held together by some type of bonding whether it is hydrogen, electrostatic, hydrophobic or disulfide.
A dimer is defined as two identical molecules sharing a covalent bond. maltose is two C6H12O6 molecules that are combined via a covalent bond, making it a true Dimer. hope that helped :)
The monomer can be categorized into three classes. The first two classes are characterized by their respective Tg values. Soft monomers, characterized by low Tg values, include n-butyl acrylate,...
Monomers can be defined as relatively small and simple molecules which bond together ( during a polymerisation reaction) to form a macromolecule called a polymer. Thus we can say that monomers are...
