G/mol to kDa Calculator

Calculate kDa from G/mol

Formula

The formula to calculate kDa from G/mol is:

\[ \text{kDa} = \frac{\text{g/mol}}{1000} \]

Where:

What is kDa?

Kilo-Daltons (kDa) is a unit of molecular mass used in biochemistry, equal to 1,000 daltons. It is commonly used to express the molecular weight of proteins and other large molecules. Converting from grams per mole (g/mol) to kDa involves dividing the molecular weight in g/mol by 1,000.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate kDa:

\[ \text{kDa} = \frac{50000}{1000} = 50 \, \text{kDa} \]

This means that 50,000 g/mol is equivalent to 50 kDa.
