A monomer is a molecule that forms the basic unit of polymers, which are the building blocks of proteins. Monomers bind to other monomers to form repeating chain molecules through a process called polymerization. The monomers can be of natural or synthetic origin. Oligomers are polymers made up of a small number (usually less than 100) of monomeric subunits. Monomeric proteins are protein molecules that combine to form multi-protein complexes. Biopolymers are polymers made up of organic monomers found in living organisms. Because monomers represent a huge class of molecules, they are generally classified into various subgroups such as sugars, alcohols, amines, acrylics and epoxides. The term "monomer" combines the prefix mono-, which means "one", and the suffix -mer, which means "part".
