  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002472",
  "term": "Constitutional sequence",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A defined portion of a macromolecule comprising a specific succession of one or more species of constitutional units. This sequence can be of any length, from a single unit to the entire chain, and its specific arrangement defines the polymer's primary structure. In a copolymer, the arrangement of different constitutional units into sequences (e.g., alternating, random, or block) determines its overall properties.",
