A macromolecule is a very large molecule, such as a protein. They are composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms. Many macromolecules are polymers of smaller molecules called monomers. The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers and large non-polymeric molecules such as lipids and macrocycles.

Proteins CHON −NH2 + −COOH +R group Amino acids

Lipids C:H:O Greater than 2:1 H:O (carboxyl group) Fatty acid and glycerol

Carbohydrates C:H:O 1:2:1 Monosaccharides

Nucleic Acids CHONP pentose, nitrogenous base, phosphate Nucleotides

Origin

The term macromolecule (macro- + molecule) was coined by Nobel laureate Hermann Staudinger in the 1920s, although his first relevant publication on this field only mentions high molecular compounds (in excess of 1,000 atoms).
