It is almost certain that these entities represent individual molecules.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During the last 15 years, scientists have developed methods that permit the direct mechanical manipulation of individual molecules.

From theCambridge English Corpus
This seemingly random behavior of individual molecules may seem unimportant or (at best) an undesirable property of their microscopic nature.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
The annealing procedure is more critical $ for molecular complexes than for individual molecules owing to the larger scale of the conformational sampling problem.
From theCambridge English Corpus
