Some molecules, namely, H2O, O2, CO2, and even insulin, important to living things are relatively small in size. Other molecules, notably proteins, polycarbohydrates, and some fatty acids, are large in size. Substances that identify a particular individual, called antibodies or immunoglobulins (abbreviated as Ig, see Section 6.20.3), are among the larger macromolecules.

The murine anti-(insulin myeloma immunoglobulins A47N and E109) antibodies have an affinity for the D-fructofuranosyl residues of inulin, with the D-glucosyl residues contributing little if at all to the binding of the whole polysaccharide to the immunoglobulins. ...
