Nanometers to base pairs
Type a value in nm to get it in bp instantly.
2.941bp
Nothing on our list is smaller: a PCR primer is 6.8× longer. Stretched out, that would be about 1×10⁻⁶ mm long.
Convert the other way: bp to nm
What it means
How long is that?
Figures are for double-stranded B-DNA: 0.34 nm and about 650 daltons per base pair, and 10.5 base pairs to a turn.
The math
How to convert nm to bp
To convert nanometers to base pairs, multiply by 2.94118.
Example: 1 nm × 2.94118 = 2.94118 bp.
In the other direction, 1 bp = 0.34 nm.
