A peptide calculator is a tool used by scientists and researchers to calculate various properties of peptides including molecular weight, net charge at different pH levels, isoelectric point, hydrophobicity, and dosage for peptides used in research or therapeutic contexts. There are different types of peptide calculators:
- Molecular weight and physicochemical property calculators: These compute the molecular weight of a peptide by summing the weights of amino acid residues and terminal groups. They can also calculate net charge using pKa values, predict solubility, and plot charge vs pH or hydrophobicity. (e.g., Bachem peptide calculator)
- Peptide dosage calculators: These help determine the exact volume to draw in a syringe for a specific peptide dose, based on peptide amount in vial, water volume for reconstitution, and desired dose. They simplify dosage calculations by converting units and providing visual guides for injections. (e.g., peptide dosage calculator on Cellgenic or OmniCalculator)
Peptide calculators often accept peptide sequences in one-letter or three- letter amino acid codes and measure parameters important for peptide synthesis, research experiments, and clinical dosage assessment.
