title: Biophysical studies by ultracentrifugation.
abstract: Advances in data analysis are broadening the applicability of ultracentrifugation to the characterization of macromolecular behavior in complex solution. The direct fitting of sedimentation velocity data to the Lamm equation is emerging as a very powerful means to characterize size distributions, improve the precision of data analysis and increase experimental throughput. With improvements in data acquisition and analysis, ultracentrifugation is poised to make significant contributions to our understanding of how macromolecules behave in vivo.
