Part A. Conceptual Questions How many molecules of amino acids do you take with a piece of 500 grams of meat? (on average an amino acid is ~100 Daltons)
There’s 20% of protein so there’s 100g of protein in 500g of meat. Knowing on average amino acid is 100 daltons (g/mol) so 100g divided by 100g/mol comes out to 1 mole of amino acids. 1 mole has about 6 x 10^23 molecules of AA (total in 500g of meat).</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/anita-lin/homework/week-04-hw-protein-design-part-i/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
