What is the difference between Thymosin alpha-1 and Vilon?
Thymosin alpha-1 is a 28-residue N-acetylated peptide originally isolated from thymus tissue (thymosin fraction 5), studied in immunology research (peptide, MW about 3108.3 g/mol).
Which is heavier, Thymosin alpha-1 or Vilon?
Thymosin alpha-1 has a molecular weight of about 3108.3 g/mol and Vilon about 275.3 g/mol (PubChem), so Thymosin alpha-1 is heavier by 2,833 g/mol, a ratio of 11.29. This means 1 mg of Thymosin alpha-1 contains 321.7 nmol versus 3,632.4 nmol for Vilon.
How many mg of Vilon are equimolar to 1 mg of Thymosin alpha-1?
1 mg of Thymosin alpha-1 (MW 3108.3) is 321.7 nmol. The same number of moles of Vilon (MW 275.3) weighs 0.08857 mg. Equimolar comparisons matter when testing two compounds side by side in the same assay.
Compare the molecular formulas of Thymosin alpha-1 and Vilon
PubChem lists Thymosin alpha-1 as C129H215N33O55 (3108.3 g/mol) and Vilon as C11H21N3O5 (275.3 g/mol). Thymosin alpha-1 is a peptide; Vilon is a dipeptide. These formulas refer to the parent compounds without salt counter-ions.
A 5 mg vial of Thymosin alpha-1 equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
5 mg of Thymosin alpha-1 (MW 3108.3) is 1.609 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.4428 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
A 10 mg vial of Thymosin alpha-1 equals how many mg of Vilon in moles?
10 mg of Thymosin alpha-1 (MW 3108.3) is 3.217 µmol. The same amount of Vilon (MW 275.3) would weigh 0.8857 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 Thymosin alpha-1 in moles?
10 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 36.324 µmol. The same amount of Thymosin alpha-1 (MW 3108.3) would weigh 112.9 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 Thymosin alpha-1 in moles?
20 mg of Vilon (MW 275.3) is 72.648 µmol. The same amount of Thymosin alpha-1 (MW 3108.3) would weigh 225.8 mg. This equimolar conversion lets two compounds be compared at matched molar amounts in the same experiment.
