Harding, Stephen E. and Gillis, Richard B. and Adams, Gary G. (2016) Assessing sedimentation equilibrium profiles in analytical ultracentrifugation experiments on macromolecules: from simple average molecular weight analysis to molecular weight distribution and interaction
Molecular weights (molar masses), molecular weight distributions, dissociation constants and other interaction parameters are fundamental characteristics of proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in solution. Sedimentation equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation provides a powerful method with no supplementary immobilization, columns or membranes required. It is a parti...
متن کاملAnalytical ultracentrifugation: sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium.
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a versatile and powerful method for the quantitative analysis of macromolecules in solution. AUC has broad applications for the study of biomacromolecules in a wide range of solvents and over a wide range of solute concentrations. Three optical systems are available for the analytical ultracentrifuge (absorbance, interference, and fluorescence) that permi...
متن کاملOn the Calculation of Moments of Molecular Weight Distribution from Sedimentation Equilibrium Data
In this paper we discuss a technique for calculating moments of polydisperse materials in terms of concentration readings along the cell. The proposed method minimizes dependence on data from the en'd points ·where they may be unreliable'. An analysis is given of the errors involved in the use of the proposed method when the underlying molecular weight distribution is the Schulz distribution or...
متن کاملDetermination of nanoparticle size distribution together with density or molecular weight by 2D analytical ultracentrifugation
Nanoparticles are finding many research and industrial applications, yet their characterization remains a challenge. Their cores are often polydisperse and coated by a stabilizing shell that varies in size and composition. No single technique can characterize both the size distribution and the nature of the shell. Advances in analytical ultracentrifugation allow for the extraction of the sedime...
متن کاملDetermination of the Molecular Weight Distribution of Chondroitin Sulfate B by Sedimentation Equilibrium.
The discovery that purified protein preparations consist of molecules which are monodisperse with respect to molecular weight was originally entirely unexpected (1). Polymerization processes in general are expected to yield products which contain molecules with a wide range of molecular size, and only a template mechanism of synthesis can reasonably be expected to yield size homogeneity. It is ...
