About the Protein Molecular Weight Calculator

A free tool for estimating protein molecular weight from an amino acid sequence.

What it is

This calculator sums the average residue mass of each amino acid in a single-letter sequence, then adds one water molecule for the free termini, to estimate the total molecular weight of the folded or unfolded polypeptide chain.

Features

All 20 amino acids

Standard single-letter codes with average residue masses.

Da and kDa

Results shown in both daltons and kilodaltons.

Residue stats

See residue count and average residue mass too.
