What is the difference between Tesamorelin and SNAP-8?
Tesamorelin is a stabilised analogue of the full 44-residue GHRH with an N-terminal trans-3-hexenoyl group, used in GHRH receptor research (peptide, MW about 5136 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Tesamorelin or SNAP-8?
Tesamorelin has a molecular weight of about 5136 g/mol and SNAP-8 about 1075.2 g/mol (PubChem), so Tesamorelin is heavier by 4,060.8 g/mol, a ratio of 4.78. This means 1 mg of Tesamorelin contains 194.7 nmol versus 930.1 nmol for SNAP-8.
How many mg of SNAP-8 are equimolar to 1 mg of Tesamorelin?
1 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 194.7 nmol. The same number of moles of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) weighs 0.2093 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Tesamorelin and SNAP-8
PubChem lists Tesamorelin as C221H366N72O67S (5136 g/mol) and SNAP-8 as C41H70N16O16S (1075.2 g/mol). Tesamorelin is a peptide; SNAP-8 is a peptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 5 mg vial of SNAP-8 equals how many mg of Tesamorelin in moles?
5 mg of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) is 4.65 µmol. The same amount of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) would weigh 23.884 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 Tesamorelin in moles?
10 mg of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) is 9.301 µmol. The same amount of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) would weigh 47.768 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 2 mg vial of Tesamorelin equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?
2 mg of Tesamorelin (MW 5136) is 0.3894 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 0.4187 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Tesamorelin equals how many mg of SNAP-8 in moles?
