Molecular Weight for nucleotides - (Apr/12/2005 )

When it says; "Molecular Weight: daltons (g/M)" What does daltons mean and what does (g/M) stand for? Does g/M stand for g/mol or what?

How can they calculate Molecular Weight for nucleotides?


Thanks for any inputs.

Hi

g/M stands for grams per Mol usually. A Dalton is the unit of molecular mass i.e. 1/12 of the mass of 1 atom of C12.
