Calculation of s20,w values using ultracentrifuge sedimentation data from linear sucrose gradients, an improved, simplified method.
A mathematical method is described for calculating the sedimentation coefficient (S20,W) with ultracentrifuge data from linear sucrose gradients. Gradient density and viscosity functions are precisely described by regression equations, which permit continuous evaluation (by integration) of the effects of gradient geometry on particle sedimentation. The results agree with previously used and more complex methods.
