What is the difference between Cartalax and Pal-GHK?
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 Pal-GHK?
Cartalax has a molecular weight of about 333.29 g/mol and Pal-GHK about 578.8 g/mol (PubChem), so Pal-GHK is heavier by 245.5 g/mol, a ratio of 1.74. This means 1 mg of Cartalax contains 3,000.4 nmol versus 1,727.7 nmol for Pal-GHK.
How many mg of Pal-GHK 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 Pal-GHK (MW 578.8) weighs 1.737 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Cartalax and Pal-GHK
PubChem lists Cartalax as C12H19N3O8 (333.29 g/mol) and Pal-GHK as C30H54N6O5 (578.8 g/mol). Cartalax is a peptide; Pal-GHK 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 Pal-GHK in moles?
10 mg of Cartalax (MW 333.29) is 30.004 µmol. The same amount of Pal-GHK (MW 578.8) would weigh 17.366 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 Pal-GHK in moles?
20 mg of Cartalax (MW 333.29) is 60.008 µmol. The same amount of Pal-GHK (MW 578.8) would weigh 34.733 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Pal-GHK equals how many mg of Cartalax in moles?
10 mg of Pal-GHK (MW 578.8) is 17.277 µmol. The same amount of Cartalax (MW 333.29) would weigh 5.758 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
