DNA has a basic formula. A five carbon sugar (ribose) missing an oxygen, a phosphate ion, and one of four nucleotides. Any molecular biology textbook displays the basic formulas. The atomic weight of each can be determined, but it is not practical since the various combinations to make a code for a protein is so numerous. Separate theindividual components and you can determine their atomic weight. I suggest a library.
