Daltons to base pairs

Type a value in Da to get it in bp instantly.

0.001538bp

Nothing on our list is smaller: a PCR primer is 13,000× longer. Stretched out, that would be about 5.231×10⁻¹⁰ mm long.

What it means

How long is that?

Figures are for double-stranded B-DNA: 0.34 nm and about 650 daltons per base pair, and 10.5 base pairs to a turn.

The math

How to convert Da to bp

To convert daltons to base pairs, multiply by 0.00153846.

Example: 1 Da × 0.00153846 = 0.00153846 bp.

In the other direction, 1 bp = 650 Da.
