Conceptual Questions All of the questions are so interesting, so c :D 1. 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) To answer this question, we first need to know how much of meat is made of proteins (therefore, aminoacids). A quick search on Google returned that in 100g of meat we have ~26g of protein (this, of course, changes based on what type of meat we’re talking about, but let’s use this number). Then we have 130g of protein in 500g of meat. If on average an aminioacid is ~100 Daltons (equivalent to 100g/mol) then we have 1.3 mol in 500 grams of meat. Therefore 1.3 x 6 x 10^23 molecules.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/gabriela-frajtag/homework/week-04-hw-protein-design-part-i/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
