Newly isolated bacterium produces about 2200 proteins


It is experimentally determined that a newly isolated bacterium produces about 2200 proteins when grown on glucose and the average molecular weight of these proteins is 41,000 Da. If an average amino acid weighs 110 Da and it takes 3 bp to code for each amino acid, how many base pairs does it take to encode a protein of average molecular weight (i.e. what is the size of a typical gene in this organism)?
