(on average an amino acid is ~100 Daltons) No. of AA molecules in 500gm of meat = Proteins consist of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, losing ~18 Da (water) per bond, so ~0.9–1 g protein yields ~1 mol amino acid residues (using your ~100 Da average residue weight). Protein in 500 g meat: ~120 g average (24% protein content). Moles of amino acids: 120 g / 100 g/mol = 1.2 mol. Molecules: 1.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = ~7.2 × 10²³ (adjusts to ~2.3 × 10²⁴ if using precise 110 Da avgHugoen
