Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent
