Formula breakdown
Formula
RQ = volume CO₂ produced ÷ volume O₂ consumed= 1.05
Note
Simplified model: these results use standard textbook laboratory relationships and average constants (A260 = 1 for 50 µg/mL dsDNA, 617.96 g/mol per base pair, ~110 Da per amino acid, ideal exponential growth). Real samples vary with purity, contaminants, buffer, temperature and instrument calibration. Always confirm against your own standards and protocol; do not use for diagnostic or safety-critical work.
