Peptide Molecular Weight Calculator

How to use this peptide analytical tool

Simply type in, or copy and paste, peptide or protein fragment amino-acid sequence, including modifications, spacers, or special termini, and press the “Calculate” button.

The peptide molecular weight calculator will display average and monoisotopic mass of the molecule, as well as a table of mass divided by charge values, both in positive and negative scan modes, which is useful for mass spec analysis.

Take a look at the following posts for demonstration of what the calculator is capable of:
