His-Tagged Protein Molecular Weight Calculator
Calculate the molecular weight (Da and kDa) of a his-tagged protein from its amino-acid sequence. Computed from average residue masses + one water. 100% in-browser — your sequence is never uploaded.
- 1Sum of residue masses
Σ residues = 8287.47 Da - 2Add one water (peptide bond hydrolysis)
MW = 8287.47 + 18.01528 = 8305.49 Da
🔒 100% client-side — your data is computed in the browser and never uploaded.

About His-Tagged Protein Molecular Weight Calculator
Calculate the molecular weight (Da and kDa) of a his-tagged protein from its amino-acid sequence. Computed from average residue masses + one water. 100% in-browser — your sequence is never uploaded. The calculation uses MW = Σ residue masses + H₂O. Why accuracy here pays off: The extinction coefficient sets every A280 concentration you report; the pI decides your ion-exchange and solubility strategy. These numbers underpin purification and quantitation. His-Tagged Protein: Computed from average residue masses + one water. Mistakes that trip people up: ignoring post-translational modifications; forgetting cystine (disulfide) contributions to ε280; using reduced vs oxidized ε in the wrong context. No account, no upload, no tracking of your inputs — the result is generated on your machine, which makes it reproducible, private and citable in published work.

Frequently asked questions
Any tips specific to this calculation?+
His-Tagged Protein: Computed from average residue masses + one water. Also watch out for: ignoring post-translational modifications and assuming pI from sequence equals experimental pI exactly.
Is this his-tagged protein molecular weight calculator free to use?+
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — there are no usage limits.
What formula does it use?+
It uses MW = Σ residue masses + H₂O The full worked example is shown beneath the result so you can verify each step.
What are the most common mistakes here?+
