  "term": "Sequence",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The specific order of monomeric units within a polymer chain, such as amino acids in a protein or nucleotides in a nucleic acid. This arrangement dictates the primary structure of the macromolecule and influences its higher-order structures and biological function. The sequence is typically represented as a linear string of single-letter codes.",
