“ifinnegan: “Structure is function.”
But word definition games are not, they’re just silly.”
Structure is function is not a word definition game. It is fundamental and foundational to all physical sciences.
It’s the first thing you learn in grad school (actually at an undergraduate level as well) when studying proteins and the same holds true for nucleic acid, even more I’d say.
All properties of chromosomes, which are individual large macromolecules, stem from their primary sequence. This is why whole genome sequence determination is important and fundamental for studying all aspects of biology.
