Abstract
The molecular weight or molar mass of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) is identical for each specific species, e.g., the molecular weights of all casein molecules from a specific source are identical. These polymers are members of a homologous series and are said to be monodisperse or molecularly homogeneous.
