Why this conversion matters in chemistry
Acoustic-dispensing compound-plate planning lives on this conversion. Take a 100 nmol aliquot of a hard-won synthetic ligand and split it across a 384-well plate as 200 daughter wells of 500 pmol each — enough material per well for one SPR or BLI injection at 1 µM in 500 µL. A medicinal-chemistry program can run a whole campaign off that one batch. Fragment screens by STD-NMR or WaterLOGSY budget at coarser nmol-per-tube granularity because solution NMR is hungrier than surface-based biosensors. The factor of 1000 itself is just the nano-to-pico prefix shift, which is the small piece of arithmetic this whole economy turns on.
