What is the difference between Kisspeptin-10 and MOTS-c?

Kisspeptin-10 is the C-terminal decapeptide of kisspeptin, used as a KISS1R (GPR54) agonist in reproductive neuroendocrinology research (peptide, MW about 1302.4 g/mol).

Which is heavier, Kisspeptin-10 or MOTS-c?

Kisspeptin-10 has a molecular weight of about 1302.4 g/mol and MOTS-c about 2174.6 g/mol (PubChem), so MOTS-c is heavier by 872.2 g/mol, a ratio of 1.67. This means 1 mg of Kisspeptin-10 contains 767.8 nmol versus 459.9 nmol for MOTS-c.

How many mg of MOTS-c are equimolar to 1 mg of Kisspeptin-10?

1 mg of Kisspeptin-10 (MW 1302.4) is 767.8 nmol. The same number of moles of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) weighs 1.67 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.

Compare the molecular formulas of Kisspeptin-10 and MOTS-c

PubChem lists Kisspeptin-10 as C63H83N17O14 (1302.4 g/mol) and MOTS-c as C101H152N28O22S2 (2174.6 g/mol). Kisspeptin-10 is a peptide; MOTS-c is a peptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
