The monomers in each of the three dimers are related ... The N-terminal extension, a sequence conserved in many germin-like proteins, is irregular in shape. It is stabilized by a disulfide bond ...

In fact, the 3D structure of this globular protein is precisely encoded by the sequence of the monomer units in the polymer chain — the so-called primary structure of this macromolecule.

Starch and cellulose are polymers made from the glucose monomer. Proteins are polymers of the amino acids monomers. Lipids are made from two different molecules called fatty acids and glycerol.
