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)
On average, if we assume that 25% of meat is protein, then we would be taking 500*0.25 = 125 g of protein intake. With an average of 100 Da per amino acid as it’s molecular weight, the total number of moles of amino acids become 1.25 moles. Multiplying with the Avagadro’s number, we get roughly seven hundred fifty-two sextillion (7.528 * 10^23) molecules !!</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/srinidhi-vasan/homework/week-04-protein-design-p1/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
