 The guy who you all tought was typing a bunch of jibberish, it is actually a word. It is a long word. I quote: 
 " Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain. This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word." 
 that is what the word means. It is a chemical word, because majority of chemical names are confusing and long. But it is a real word, and one of the longest words in the world. Here ya' go: 

 Two chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records .

Proteins are long sequences of individual amino-acids. The 'yl' combination occurs frequently and more or less each part in between them is the chemical name of a separate group or stem of an organic compound.  DNA is an extremely long sequence of such amino acids. I think the DNA sequence is even longer than this. Every year several new sequences are unravelled and this one may well have been quoted in a student magazine some years ago and has been copied and pasted over and over again since then.
