The formula to calculate the Molecular Weight is:
\[ \text{MW} = \text{BP} \times \text{CF} \]
Where:
A base pair is a unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA. The most common base pairs are adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G) in DNA, and adenine with uracil (A-U) in RNA. The number of base pairs is often used to express the size of a gene or an entire genome.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Molecular Weight (MW):
\[ \text{MW} = 1000 \times 0.65 = 650 \text{ kDa} \]
The Molecular Weight is 650 kDa.
