title: [Ultrasonic velocimetry of biological compounds].
abstract: Ultrasonic velocimetry, a method of molecular biological studies developed in recent years, is an effective tool for investigating hydration of biological substances, conformational transitions of biopolymers and molecular interactions. The method is based upon precise measurements of ultrasonic velocity in solutions of biological substances. The paper presents analysis of the physical bases of the method and possible fields of its applications. Examples of applications of ultrasonic velocimetry to the problems of molecular biology are shown.
