If you have lots of experience in the drug business then you know you won't be getting the chemical formula for a unit of the drug.

You have a lot of experience? Then you should have no trouble calculating the MW for a each nanomicelle based on the information here:

Get back to us when you've got the numbers. I already have and found that the MW based on the 6 configurations in the description were all very close to the numbers I got just by the shortcut of determining volume based on the micelle size and then estimating the number of micelles per gram. Plus or minus a few hundred trillion is nothing for estimations of these magnitudes.

Scale: a nanomicelle is one-half order of magnitude smaller than a flu virus particle. A flu virus particle is about 3 orders of magnitude smaller than the cells that it infects. There is no difference in cell size between mice and humans, only the number of cells is greater in humans than in murine mammalia.

But what do I know? I'm only an English teacher. ;-)
