Total number of amino acids in a cell (mostly in proteins)
Range | 5.6×10^8 - 2.5×10^9 Table - link Amino acids |
---|---|
Organism | Bacteria Escherichia coli |
Reference | Bremer, H., Dennis, P. P. (1987) Modulation of chemical composition and other parameters of the cell by growth rate. Neidhardt, et al. eds. Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium: Cellular and Molecular Biology, 1st ed. chapter 96, Table 2 pp.1530-1 |
Comments | Depends on growth rate which affects cell size and number of genomes. Lower value for a 100 minutes cell generation time, higher value for a 24 minutes cell generation time. For 40 min generation time 1.3×10^9 amino acids per cell. All for exponentially growing cell at 37°C |
