What is the difference between Oxytocin and Vilon?
Oxytocin is a nonapeptide neurohypophysial hormone with a disulfide bridge, used as a reference agonist in oxytocin receptor and social-neuroscience research (cyclic nonapeptide, MW about 1007.2 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Oxytocin or Vilon?
Oxytocin has a molecular weight of about 1007.2 g/mol and Vilon about 275.3 g/mol (PubChem), so Oxytocin is heavier by 731.9 g/mol, a ratio of 3.66. This means 1 mg of Oxytocin contains 992.9 nmol versus 3,632.4 nmol for Vilon.
How many mg of Vilon are equimolar to 1 mg of Oxytocin?
1 mg of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) is 992.9 nmol. The same number of moles of Vilon (MW 275.3) weighs 0.2733 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Oxytocin and Vilon
PubChem lists Oxytocin as C43H66N12O12S2 (1007.2 g/mol) and Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol). Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide; Vilon is a dipeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 2 mg vial of Oxytocin equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
2 mg of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) is 1.986 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.5467 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 5 mg vial of Oxytocin equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
5 mg of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) is 4.964 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 1.367 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 Oxytocin in moles?
10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) would weigh 36.586 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 Oxytocin in moles?
20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of Oxytocin (MW 1007.2) would weigh 73.171 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
