Abstract
Proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides (carbohydrates) are macro-molecules ; they are compounds with high molecular weights. To understand the nature of their biological function and become acquainted with ways in which they are studied, it is important to establish the general properties of macromolecules.
