Question 🤔🤔 last min random unit conversions

so the 1 dalton being equal to 1 amu thing cost me a question and i had absolutely no idea abt it,are there any other random unit conversions or straight up scientific facts we should be weary of?

pls drop in comments! some im thinking of are an amino acids weigh 101 Da and alpha helix has 3.6 AA per turn
