Assume you were given a mixture consisting of one molecule each
of all possible sequences of a smallish protein of molecular weight
4800 daltons. If the average molecular weight of an amino acid is,
say, 120 daltons, how much would the sample weigh? How big a
container would you need to hold it? What does this calculation
tell you about the fraction of possible proteins that are currently
in use by living organisms (the average molecular weight of
proteins is about 30,000 daltons)?

assuming that amino acids in protein have an average molecular weight of 120 daltons, about how much does usherin protein weigh, show your calculations
1. (4 points) Given that the average molecular weight of an amino acid is 110 daltons (Da), determine the following. Remember to convert between daltons and kilodaltons (kDa) where necessary. Each of your answers must be numerically correct and expressed in proper units (1 pt) and show how the value was arrived at using the amino acid molecular weight above (1 pt) for you to receive full credit. A. A molecule of human a-tubulin has a molecular weight of 50.1...
