It is composed of 244 individually folded protein domains connected by unstructured peptide sequences.
the name is so long because you need to have every single one of those 244 protein in the name. (chemical rule thing.)
this is kinda the reason chemist think of additional names for such chemicals.
so yes it has the long name. no nobody uses it.
i try to keep it simple
titin is made up out of about 244 proteins (132 of type I and 112 of type 2).
type 1 is build up from about 16 layers of about 100 amino acids.
type 2 is build up out of about 2 layers of 7-9 strands (each consistent of 3-9 amino acids)
as an example of amino acids is Lysine. (there are a lot amino acids but most are build up the same)
the name lysine is officialy "2,6-diaminohexanoic acid"
Just want to say you're too obsessed with long name ...
Oi! Don't insult the great welsh town of Llanfairpwlgarfegbugvibruoweufbvurwivucghmwxinguejioqwuhejcnayrmxwiuhixc... something... Or titin<lotsalotsa letters>
Progammer, i just like long names for some reason, and why wouldnt i be curios why titin got such a long other name. I really hope no one got hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia here tho, if you do, i am terribly sorry.
Anyone have an idea why this word is soo long?

So its actually the proteins that have atleast 774 letters long :o?
I am not familiar with that protein rule tho, nor what the proteins names are, but that would be insane.
remember that also the structures between the proteins are named. and proteins are rather big. (titin self is also a protein btw)
Thats really interesting .
well.. look at it this way.

btw.. biochemistry is not my speciality.
No wonder why the word is so repetetive.
If i invented proteins like this i would just call it
Proteins1name times How many of it is used.
there are rules to the naming. and every country its the same (that's why every chemist can understand a other chemist)
but trust me. nobody is using the long names. there is a reason why most chemicals have a second name. and almost always that is used.

So why are you called slaydon instead of slaydonadstanhavgorthragoomahgradnostahnedrigoohitasdfgrinchyidraslayerdonnyguy?
Because i am not IdrAs Slayer Don Guy.
Geesh :P
You're such a plintstone fan.
