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) Assumptions:
Lean meat (e.g., beef, chicken, fish) contains approximately 20% protein by weight (the remainder is water, fat, minerals, and glycogen). 500 g meat × 0.20 = 100 g of protein. Proteins are digested into individual amino acid monomers. Average molar mass of an amino acid residue ≈ 100 g/mol (as stated). Approximately 6 × 10²⁶ amino acid molecules are obtained from 500 g of meat.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/veronika-prizova/homework/week-04-hw-protein-design-part-i/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
