title: Quantitative characterization of reversible macromolecular associations via sedimentation equilibrium: an introduction.
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.
