Small molecule

In molecular biology and pharmacology, a small molecule or micromolecule is a low molecular weight (≤ 1000 daltons) organic compound that may regulate a biological process, with a size on the order of 1 nm.[citation needed] Larger structures such as nucleic acids and proteins, and many polysaccharides are not small molecules, although their constituent…
