For this problem, we've got a protein, a theoretical protein that's 100 kilodalton's, and it's being synthesized by e.
00:08
Coli polymerase.
00:11
And we're trying to find how fast this would be synthesized with this weight.
00:18
And so the first step we're going to do is convert kiladultons to residues.
00:24
And i used an online protein residue to kiladalton calculator that kind of takes an average of all.
00:31
Of the different amino acids in their different weights because we don't know anything about the composition of this protein.
00:38
I can guess that it's maybe got some basic acidic, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, basically a mix of them.
00:45
And so we could take an average and find that this weight 100 kilodontal is about 900 residues.
00:55
So 900 amino acids.
00:59
And then from there, just multiply this by three to get the number of nucleotides.
01:04
So this is is 2 ,700 nucleotides long, the protein coding sequence anyway...
