Experimental results describing a protein's amino acid composition are useful for estimating the molecular weight (MW) of the entire protein. A quantitative amino acid analysis reveals that bovine cytochrome c contains 2% cysteine (Mr ⁢121) by weight. Calculate the approximate molecular weight of bovine cytochrome c if there are 2 cysteine residues. approximate bovine cytochrome c MW: ? Da
