What is the difference between Cartalax and Matrixyl?
Cartalax is a synthetic tripeptide from the Khavinson short-peptide series studied in cartilage-cell (chondrocyte) culture research (peptide, MW about 333.29 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Cartalax or Matrixyl?
Cartalax has a molecular weight of about 333.29 g/mol and Matrixyl about 802.1 g/mol (PubChem), so Matrixyl is heavier by 468.8 g/mol, a ratio of 2.41. This means 1 mg of Cartalax contains 3,000.4 nmol versus 1,246.7 nmol for Matrixyl.
How many mg of Matrixyl are equimolar to 1 mg of Cartalax?
1 mg of Cartalax (MW 333.29) is 3,000.4 nmol. The same number of moles of Matrixyl (MW 802.1) weighs 2.407 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Cartalax and Matrixyl
PubChem lists Cartalax as C12H19N3O8 (333.29 g/mol) and Matrixyl as C39H75N7O10 (802.1 g/mol). Cartalax is a peptide; Matrixyl is a lipopeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 10 mg vial of Cartalax equals how many mg of Matrixyl in moles?
10 mg of Cartalax (MW 333.29) is 30.004 µmol. The same amount of Matrixyl (MW 802.1) would weigh 24.066 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 20 mg vial of Cartalax equals how many mg of Matrixyl in moles?
20 mg of Cartalax (MW 333.29) is 60.008 µmol. The same amount of Matrixyl (MW 802.1) would weigh 48.132 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 5 mg vial of Matrixyl equals how many mg of Cartalax in moles?
5 mg of Matrixyl (MW 802.1) is 6.234 µmol. The same amount of Cartalax (MW 333.29) would weigh 2.078 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Matrixyl equals how many mg of Cartalax in moles?
10 mg of Matrixyl (MW 802.1) is 12.467 µmol. The same amount of Cartalax (MW 333.29) would weigh 4.155 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
