Titin is the third most abundant protein in muscle (after myosin and actin), and an adult human contains approximately 0.5 kg of titin. [13] With its length of ~27,000 to ~35,000 amino acids (depending on the splice isoform ), titin is the largest known protein . [ 14 ]
The 58-letter name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the name of a town on Anglesey, an island of Wales. In terms of the traditional Welsh alphabet, the name is only 51 letters long, as certain digraphs in Welsh are considered as single letters, for instance ll, ng and ch. It is generally ...
As a technical scientific term, the full name of titin doesn’t appear in any dictionary—not just because it would take 12 full pages to wrangle the 190,000-odd characters, but because of the ...
The IUPAC name for Titin. This is the largest known protein and so has the longest chemical name. Written in full, it contains 189,819 letters. [48] MOM: A functional group often employed in organic synthesis to protect alcohols. Periplanone B: Periplanone B A pheromone of the female American cockroach. Thebacon
The longest recognized systematic name is for the protein titin, at 189,819 letters. [1] While lexicographers regard generic names of chemical compounds as verbal formulae rather than words, [2] for its sheer length the systematic name for titin is often included in longest-word lists.
He had previously made use of alliteration with the name of his previous character, Totor. [45] Michael Farr believes that "Tintin" is probably the character's surname because other characters, such as his landlady , occasionally refer to him as Mr. Tintin (as printed on his doorbell). [ 46 ]
PG5 has a molecular mass of about 200 MDa or 200,000,000,000,000,000 g/mol. It has roughly 200 million atoms and a diameter of roughly 10 nm. Its length is up to a few micrometers. [3]
Inserting the "full word" into this article perpetuates the myth that it is the world's longest word and the misconception that proteins are called by their amino acid names. The amino acid sequence of titin differs between species. Furthermore within humans there are several splice variants.
