Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
. Average amino acid MWDa. Number of amino acids. Some texts use 120 Da/AA giving, but 110 Da is the most commonly accepted average giving ~900 as the standard approximation. This is consistent with the empirical 'rule of thumb': 1 kDa9–10 amino acids, so 100 kDa900–1000 amino acids.
