Proteins make up half the dry weight of an Escherichia coli cell whereas other macromolecules such as DNA and RNA make up only 3% and 20% respectively. The set of proteins expressed in a particular cell or cell type is known as its proteome. Within the fields of molecular biology and pharmacology a small molecule is a low molecular weight (< 900 daltons ) organic compound that may regulate a biological process with a size on the order of 1 nm. Many drugs are small molecules. Larger structures such as nucleic acids and proteins and many polysaccharides are not small molecules although their constituent monomers (ribo- or deoxyribonucleotides amino acids and monosaccharides respectively) are often considered small molecules.
