Molarity

The concentration of a solution in moles of solute per liter, written M, mM, µM or nM; for a peptide it is mass concentration divided by molecular weight.

Last reviewed · Editorial policy

Molarity counts molecules rather than mass, so two peptides at the same molarity are present in the same number, whatever they weigh. A mass concentration in mg/mL divided by the molecular weight in g/mol gives mol/L directly: 1 mg/mL of a peptide of molecular weight 1,000 is 1 mM.

The molecular weight to use is the free peptide's, and the mass is the mass of peptide rather than of powder, which is the weighed mass multiplied by the net peptide content.
