What is the difference between MOTS-c and Vilon?
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 Vilon?
MOTS-c has a molecular weight of about 2174.6 g/mol and Vilon about 275.3 g/mol (PubChem), so MOTS-c is heavier by 1,899.3 g/mol, a ratio of 7.9. This means 1 mg of MOTS-c contains 459.9 nmol versus 3,632.4 nmol for Vilon.
How many mg of Vilon 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 Vilon (MW 275.3) weighs 0.1266 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of MOTS-c and Vilon
PubChem lists MOTS-c as C101H152N28O22S2 (2174.6 g/mol) and Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol). MOTS-c is a peptide; Vilon is a dipeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 5 mg vial of MOTS-c equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
5 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 2.299 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.633 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 Vilon in moles?
10 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 4.599 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 1.266 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 Vilon in moles?
20 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 9.197 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 2.532 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 Vilon in moles?
30 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 13.796 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 3.798 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 Vilon in moles?
40 mg of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) is 18.394 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 5.064 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Vilon equals how many mg of MOTS-c in moles?
10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) would weigh 78.99 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 20 mg vial of Vilon equals how many mg of MOTS-c in moles?
20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of MOTS-c (MW 2174.6) would weigh 158 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
