Abstract

Recently, several Word Ways contributors have suggested relationships between wordplay and chemistry (see "The Linguistic Genetic Message" Feb 1992, and the note on The Scientist Speculates in Feb 1994). Although none of the ideas appealed to me, I found the concept intriguing, and devised something of my own. In this article, I model protein chemistry wit ha combination of two different types of directed word chains. In addition, constructions from the combination chaining leads to interesting logology.
