Dalton

Measure of molecular weight or molecular mass. One molecular hydrogen molecular atom has molecular mass of 1 Da, so 1 Da = 1 g/mol. Proteins and other molecular macromolecule molecular weights are usually measured in molecular kDa or kD (kilodaltons) - 1000 Da. molecular average molecular amino molecular acid = 110 Da.
