PetDinosaurs, 8 months ago A protein could be considered a single molecule, but it also could not. Molecule is hardly the right term for most things, e.g. polonium or salt. I intended to be more general but didn’t want to go further of into the weeds. I considered 1 unit, but that’s misleading. Let’s go with the etymology of molecule: small amount.
