John Dalton, scientist, born 1766, died 1844.
a unit of mass, approximately 1.66 x 10-24 grams; -- it is approximately equal to the mass of one hydrogen atom, but the exact value differs slightly as used in physics and chemistry. It is used mostly to describe the size of proteins and nucleic acids in biochemistry.
Unit of molecular mass. Approximately equal to the mass of a hydrogen atom (1.66 x 1E-24 g).
A unit of molecular mass approximately equal to that of a hydrogen atom or 1.66 x 10-24 grams. Alternatively, there is approximately 1 mole of daltons per gram.
English chemist and physicist who formulated atomic theory and the law of partial pressures; gave the first description of red-green color blindness (1766-1844)
a measurement of molecules and atoms
an alternate name for the atomic mass unit (u or amu)
A unit of mass very nearly equal to that of a hydrogen atom (precisely equal to 1 on the atomic mass scale), named after John Dalton, who developed the atomic theory of matter. It is 1.660 3 10-24 gram. A kilodalton (kDa) is 1,000 daltons.
DALTON (named after John Dalton) is a quantum chemistry program. It is capable of calculating various molecular properties using the Hartree-Fock, MP2, MCSCF and coupled cluster theories. Version 2.0 of DALTON added support for density functional theory calculations.
