Detailed explanation-1: -di·mer ˈdī-mər. : a compound formed by the union of two radicals or two molecules of a simpler compound. specifically : a polymer formed from two molecules of a monomer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dimers are oligomers composed of two monomers that are similar in structure and joined by a chemical bond.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dimer is held together by two hydrogen bonds with a total strength of 66.5 kJ per mole of dimer. At 25oC, the equilibrium constant for the dimerisation is 1.3×103 (pressure in atm).
Detailed explanation-4: -In biochemistry, a protein dimer is a macromolecular complex formed by two protein monomers, or single proteins, which are usually non-covalently bound. Many macromolecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids, form dimers. The word dimer has roots meaning “two parts", di-+-mer.
