Calculation options

Each peptide bond releases one water molecule (18.015 Da). A protein with n amino acids has n-1 peptide bonds.

About molecular weight calculation

The calculator determines molecular weight by summing amino acid masses and accounting for:

  • Average mass: Natural isotope distribution (general use)
  • Monoisotopic mass: Most abundant isotope (mass spec)
  • Water loss: 18.015 Da per peptide bond
  • Modifications: Post-translational modifications if selected
