Conceptual Questions 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) A dalton is a unit of mass defined as 1/12th the mass of an unbound neutral Carbon-12 atom at rest, equivalent to 1.66X10-24 grams. It is commonly used in molecular biology to calculate the mass of large molecules into grams. Meat protein is roughly 25% protein by mass, therefore 500g x 0.25 = 125g of protein since almost all amino acids are concentrated in the protein of meat.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/iman-karibzhanova/homework/week-04-hw-protein-design-part-i/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
