About Dalton (Da)
The dalton is a unit of mass equal to one unified atomic mass unit (1/12 of a carbon-12 atom), approximately 1.661 × 10⁻²⁷ kg.
1 Da = 1 u = 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷ kg. Proteins range from ~5 kDa to >1,000 kDa.
To convert Da to kg: multiply by 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷. 1 kDa = 1,000 Da.
Protein molecular weights (hemoglobin ≈ 64.5 kDa), DNA fragment sizing, and antibody characterization.
Titin, the largest known protein, has a molecular weight of about 3,800 kDa (3.8 MDa). The average protein is ~40–50 kDa.
The dalton and u are identical — they're just preferred in different fields (Da in biology, u in chemistry/physics).
If a paper says a protein is '50 kDa,' that's 50,000 atomic mass units — about 50,000 hydrogen atoms' worth of mass.
