Double-strand macromolecule

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003419",
  "term": "Double-strand macromolecule",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecule characterized by two linear sequences of constitutional units that are interconnected at regular intervals along their entire length. This forms a ladder-like structure, where the two strands are covalently bonded to each other. Such macromolecules exhibit increased rigidity and thermal stability compared to single-strand polymers.",
