What is the difference between Vilon and SNAP-8?
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide from the Khavinson short-peptide series studied in thymus and immune-cell research models (dipeptide, MW about 275.3 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Vilon or SNAP-8?
Vilon has a molecular weight of about 275.3 g/mol and SNAP-8 about 1075.2 g/mol (PubChem), so SNAP-8 is heavier by 799.9 g/mol, a ratio of 3.91. This means 1 mg of Vilon contains 3,632.4 nmol versus 930.1 nmol for SNAP-8.
How many mg of SNAP-8 are equimolar to 1 mg of Vilon?
1 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 3,632.4 nmol. The same number of moles of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) weighs 3.906 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Vilon and SNAP-8
PubChem lists Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol) and SNAP-8 as C41H70N16O16S (1075.2 g/mol). Vilon is a dipeptide; 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 Vilon in moles?
5 mg of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) is 4.65 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 1.28 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 Vilon in moles?
10 mg of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) is 9.301 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 2.56 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 SNAP-8 in moles?
10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 39.056 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 SNAP-8 in moles?
20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of SNAP-8 (MW 1075.2) would weigh 78.111 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
