Protein Conversions

Conversion of Proteins to DNA Length

1 kb of DNA	= 333 amino acids of coding capacity = 3.7 x 10⁴ Da
10,000 Da	= 270 bp DNA
30,000 Da	= 810 bp DNA
50,000 Da	= 1.35 kb DNA
100,000 Da	= 2.7 kb DNA

Conversion of Absolute Quantity (mol) to Weight

100 pmoles of 100,000 dalton protein = 10 µg

100 pmoles of 50,000 dalton protein = 5 µg

100 pmoles of 10,000 dalton protein = 1 µg
