I'm really struggling to remember the IUPAC name of this protein:

Full 'Titin' Protein Name is 189,819 Letter 'Longest' English Word - The Wild Life

Have 3 to 5 hours? Try reading the 189,819 letter full-name of this giant human protein!

Can anyone suggest a way of avoiding the 3 hours and 20 minutes it takes to say out loud. An acronym, possibly?

Connectin?

Titin works as a name to convey what it is. It is too big for alphafold, but it seems people have been able to do it in parts.

The protein you're referring to is Titin, and its full chemical name is the longest word in the English language, composed of 189,819 letters. The IUPAC name for Titin is extremely long and impractical for everyday use, so it's commonly referred to simply as "Titin."

Creating an acronym for a word that long would be impractical and wouldn't serve the purpose of making it easier to remember or say. However, the abbreviated form "Titin" is universally recognized in scientific literature and is used for both academic and clinical discussions. It's the name you'll see in publications, medical documents, and educational materials.

So, there's no real need to remember the full IUPAC name, just stick with "Titin," and you'll be understood in both scientific and medical contexts.
