If there were 100 proteins in a cube with volume 10^6 nm^3 then what is the concentration of protein (in molarity)?
 If there were 100 proteins in a cube with volume 10^6 nm^3 then what is the concentration of protein (in molarity)?
Solution
100 proteins in 106 nm3 or 10-9nL
1 molar solution= 1 mol /liter
=> 1 molar solution= 6.023 x 1023 molecules /liter
=> 1 molar solution= 6.023 x 1023 molecules /109nL
=> 1 molar solution= 6.023 x 1023-09 molecules /nL
=> 1 molar solution= 6.023 x 1023-18 molecules / 10-9nL
We have 100 molecules in 10-9nL
So molarity becomes
602300/100
The concentration of protein=6023 molar
