title: Simulation of the time course of macromolecular separations in an ultracentrifuge. I. Formation of a cesium chloride density gradient at 25 degrees C.
abstract: A method is described for rapid numerical simulation of the time course of the formation of a density gradient of CsCl in an ultracentrifuge at 25 degrees C. Results of simulations compare well with those of experiments carried out in analytical and preparative ultracentrifuges.
