7. An additional ∼10% of the 3000 articles included molecules that may be regarded as "derivatized dimers", but do not possess bilateral symmetry. It is amusing to speculate that this ∼10% case once represented bilaterally symmetrical molecules that subsequently evolved to produce more specialized activity by losing exact bilateral symmetry.

19. A reviewer posed a question on why dimeric molecules may be preferred over their monomeric compounds in the biological system. A reaction might proceed in the sequence monomer → dimer, since the economy for doubling molecular weight and complexity comes at a lower cost in energy than would the association of small fragments in a manner analogous to using bricks and mortar.
