polünukleotiidid - nukleotiididest koosnevad polükondensaatsed ühendid. Eristatakse looduslikke (desoksüribonukleiinhape, ribonukleiinhape) ja sünteetilisi polünukleotiide. Viimased võivad koosneda nukleotiididest, mida looduses ei leidu, ja looduslikest erineda ehituse poolest.
polynucleotide - any polymer of mononucleotides; nucleic acid
... the same macromolecule or one that differs from the original macromolecule only with respect to changes in the molecular structure such as: ... polynucleotide substances (including gene transfer and antisense substances), consisting of two or more distinct nucleotides where:
