pH chemistry problem for diabetes
« on: February 24, 2011, 02:45:20 PM »
A typical antibody has a molecular weight of 25,000 g/mol and an average amino acid has a molecular weight of ~100 g/mol. If there are 20 naturally occurring amino acids (including lysine) and they each occur in the antibody at nearly the same frequency, roughly how many lysines could be presented in the antibody?
Please help me to figure out this problem, chemistry experts.

This is a super simple math problem, there is no chemistry involved  ::)
