What is the difference between MOTS-c and SNAP-8?

MOTS-c is a 16-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region, described in 2015 and studied in cellular metabolism research (peptide, MW about 2174.6 g/mol).

Which is heavier, MOTS-c or SNAP-8?

MOTS-c has a molecular weight of about 2174.6 g/mol and SNAP-8 about 1075.2 g/mol (PubChem), so MOTS-c is heavier by 1,099.4 g/mol, a ratio of 2.02. This means 1 mg of MOTS-c contains 459.9 nmol versus 930.1 nmol for SNAP-8.

How many mg of SNAP-8 are equimolar to 1 mg of MOTS-c?

1 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 459.9 nmol. The same number of moles of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) weighs 0.4944 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.

Compare the molecular formulas of MOTS-c and SNAP-8

PubChem lists MOTS-c as C101H152N28O22S2 (2174.6 g/mol) and SNAP-8 as C41H70N16O16S (1075.2 g/mol). MOTS-c is a peptide; SNAP-8 is a peptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.

A 5 mg vial of MOTS-c equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?

5 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 2.299 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 2.472 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 10 mg vial of MOTS-c equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?

10 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 4.599 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 4.944 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 20 mg vial of MOTS-c equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?

20 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 9.197 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 9.889 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 30 mg vial of MOTS-c equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?

30 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 13.796 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 14.833 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 40 mg vial of MOTS-c equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?

40 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 18.394 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 19.777 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 5 mg vial of SNAP-8 equals how many mg of MOTS-c in moles?

5 mg of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) is 4.65 µmol. The same amount of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) would weigh 10.113 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.

A 10 mg vial of SNAP-8 equals how many mg of MOTS-c in moles?

10 mg of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) is 9.301 µmol. The same amount of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) would weigh 20.225 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
