A rule of thumb for amino acid content of proteins
The simple average molecular weight of the 20 common amino acids is 138, but most biochemists use 110 when estimating the number of amino acids in a protein of known molecular weight. Why do you suppose this is? (Hint: there are two contributing factors to the answer. One of them will be apparent from a brief consideration of amino acid compositions of common proteins. See for example Figure 5.16 of this text.)
