Dalton (Da)
The dalton, symbolized as Da, is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular masses.
It is equivalent to the unified atomic mass unit (u).
1 dalton = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom ≈ 1.66054 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms
Commonly used in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology to measure the mass of atoms, molecules, and proteins.
Key Facts:
1 Da ≈ mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron)
Used to describe molecular weights (e.g., a protein might be 50,000 Da)
Helps standardize measurements on atomic and molecular scales
The dalton provides a convenient, standardized scale for describing the masses of tiny particles in science.
