If the average molecular weight of one amino acid is 110 the molecular weight of a peptide made up of 10 amino acids is?

When a peptide of 10 amino acid will form there will be the evolution of 9 molecules of water,which amounts to 162(9*18),where 18 is the MW of water. Now a peptide is having 10 amino acids which means including all the molecules weight should be 110*10=1100 but we have to take out the weight of 9 water molecules for the final calculation .Therefore 1100-162 will be 938. So the answer is 938

What is the length of peptide bond?
there is no specific length for the peptide bond, but there are million amino acids that build up a peptide bond
What is the bond linking amino acids?
Peptide
How are amino acids held together?
With peptide bonds
The majority of all acids are what is what ionize 100 percent or are strong molecular acids?
are strong molecular acids ionize 100
What binds amino acids together in a protein?
peptide bonds
What will be molecular weight of peptide containing nine amino acids?
It is not predictable.There are 20 diffent amino acids.
What are polypeptide composed of?
A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, with a molecular weight of up to about 10,000. It is composed of amino acids.
The average molecular weight of the 20 standard amino acids is 136 What is the molecular weight of a protein composed of 100 of these amino acids?
In the formation of a peptide bond, a water molecule is "lost" (18Da), so if there are 100 amino acids (of average weight = 128), 99 peptide bonds were created, kicking out 99 x 18 = 162 Da. 100 AA x 128Da = 12,800 Dalton Removing the "water" upon condensation gives 12,800 Da - 162 Da = 12,638 Da = 12,638 g/mol
Why do proteins have large molecular masses?
Because they are a polymer of amino acids, known as polypeptide (as the amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds). A protein can have hundreds of amino acids, therefore their molecular masses reaches well above 500-800
What bonds holds amino acids together?
Amino acids are chemically combined by the formation of peptide bonds.
What is the shortest protein?
I am not completely positive, but from what I can find it is said that the shortest protein peptide sequence consists just 8 amino acids. It is recognized by the anti-peptide antisera.The shortest protein in rice is 5 amino acids. The locus id is LOC_Os06g47230.
What are the monomers of a peptide?
aminoacids aminoacids
What is the difference between peptide and peptide bond?
a protein is many amino acids bonded together, amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins, and a peptide bond is the bond that connects amino acids together
What has higher molecular weight amino acid or protein?
Proteins have the higher molecular weight. They consist of long chains of amino acids joined together.
Which best describes how protein forms?
Amino acids form peptide bonds.
What type of bond do amino acids form?
Amino acids form peptide bonds when bonding with one another.
What is the difference between amine and peptide hormones?
The difference between amine and peptide hormones are:Amine hormones are from amino acids. Peptide Hormones are peptide bonds between multiple amino acids.
