The spontaneous formation of complex polymers from amino acids and purines is not at all a straightforward process.

The spontaneous formation of complex polymers from abiotically generated monomers under the conditions posited by the "soup" theory is not at all a straightforward process.

By further transformation, more complex organic polymers - and ultimately life - developed in the soup.

To detect the presence of complex polymers, some exoenzymes are produced constitutively at low levels, and expression is upregulated when the substrate is abundant.

It was a snow of complex organic polymers, drifting down from the hundred-mile-thick chemical soup above her head.

Living polymerizations using trialkylboranes as the catalyst and (dimethyloxosulfaniumyl)methanide as the monomer have been reported for the synthesis of various complex polymers.

Laccase can degrade complex polymers such as lignin or humic acids.

Because complex polymers are large it may create steric hindrance and prevent direct enzyme contact.

More complex polymers such as proteins, with various interacting chemical groups attached to their backbones, self-assemble into well-defined structures.

Sodium oxide does not explicitly exist in glasses, since glasses are complex cross-linked polymers.
