What is the difference between MOTS-c and Vesugen?
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 Vesugen?
MOTS-c has a molecular weight of about 2174.6 g/mol and Vesugen about 390.39 g/mol (PubChem), so MOTS-c is heavier by 1,784.2 g/mol, a ratio of 5.57. This means 1 mg of MOTS-c contains 459.9 nmol versus 2,561.5 nmol for Vesugen.
How many mg of Vesugen 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 Vesugen (MW 390.39) weighs 0.1795 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of MOTS-c and Vesugen
PubChem lists MOTS-c as C101H152N28O22S2 (2174.6 g/mol) and Vesugen as C15H26N4O8 (390.39 g/mol). MOTS-c is a peptide; Vesugen 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 Vesugen in moles?
5 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 2.299 µmol. The same amount of Vesugen (MW 390.39) would weigh 0.8976 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
