Abstract
-
The measurement and analysis of sedimentation equilibrium provides
one of the most powerful and widely applicable methods for the
characterization of reversible associations of macromolecules in solution.
Recent developments in instrumentation, experimental design, and data
analysis have substantially broadened the range of systems to which this
technique may be applied, simplified its application, and reduced the cost
of acquiring analytical capability.
