1. What Is Protein Molarity Conversion?

Protein molarity conversion calculates the molar concentration of a protein solution from mass concentration (mg/mL) and molecular weight (kDa). This conversion is essential for biochemical experiments where molar concentrations are required for accurate reagent preparation.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the protein molarity conversion formula:

\[ M (mM) = \frac{Conc (mg/mL)}{MW (kDa)} \]

Where:

\( M \) — Molarity in millimolar (mM)
\( Conc \) — Concentration in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL)
\( MW \) — Molecular weight in kilodaltons (kDa)

Explanation: The formula converts mass concentration to molar concentration by dividing by the molecular weight, using consistent units (kDa for MW corresponds to mg/mL for concentration to yield mM).

3. Importance Of Molarity Calculation

Details: Accurate molarity calculation is crucial for preparing solutions with precise stoichiometry, ensuring reproducible experimental results in protein biochemistry, enzymology, and molecular biology.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter concentration in mg/mL and molecular weight in kDa. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be in millimolar (mM) units.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use kDa for molecular weight?
A: Kilodaltons (kDa) are commonly used for protein molecular weights as they provide convenient numbers that align with mg/mL concentrations to yield mM results.

Q2: What if my molecular weight is in Da instead of kDa?
A: Convert Da to kDa by dividing by 1000. For example, 65,000 Da = 65 kDa.

Q3: Can this calculator be used for other biomolecules?
A: Yes, the same formula applies to any compound when using consistent units (mg/mL concentration and kDa molecular weight).

Q4: What are typical protein concentrations used?
A: Protein concentrations typically range from 0.1-10 mg/mL for most biochemical applications, corresponding to micromolar to millimolar concentrations.

Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact. Accuracy depends on the precision of your concentration measurements and molecular weight determination.
