It hard to convert units to weight unless the vendor provides such information. Some vendors say one mg dry weigt of DNase I has >2,000 Kunitz units. Qiagen explicitily says that one mg = 2500 Kunitz units. If this is given, you can estimate the weight. However this number may not be applied to DNase from another vendor since they may have different activity.
