一個DNA堿基對（鈉鹽）的平均分子量 = 650 道爾頓
1.0 A260 unit ds DNA = 50 µg/ml = 0.15 mM (in nucleotides)
1.0 A260 unit ss DNA = 33 µg/ml = 0.10 mM (in nucleotides)
1.0 A260 unit ss RNA = 40 µg/ml = 0.11 mM (in nucleotides)
雙鏈DNA分子的分子量(道爾頓) = 堿基對數目×650
雙鏈DNA分子的末端摩爾數 = 2 ×DNA質量（克）/ DNA分子量（道爾頓）
限制性內切酶酶切后的DNA末端摩爾數:
a) 環狀DNA分子: 2 × DNA摩爾數× 位點數
b) 線性DNA分子: 2 × DNA摩爾數×位點數 2 × DNA摩爾數
