Marine huge polyol and polyether compounds are remarkable molecules Owing to their extraordinary structures and significant biological activities Currently, palvtoxin and marotoxin are believed to have the longest Carbon chains in nature (more than 100 angstrom m length), except for biopolymers The structural properties of such marine huge molecules are highlighted, especially with regard to the length and shape of then carbon chains.
