Abstract
The technique of equilibrium density-gradient ultracentrifugation in the analytical ultracentrifuge was first described by Meselson, Stahl, and Vinograd in 1957 (Meselson et al., 1957). The method provides a thermodynamically rigorous procedure for the determination of the buoyant density, hydration, and solvated molecular weight of polymers having molecular weights larger than about 10,000.
This work was supported in part by a research grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (GM 18871), National Institutes of Health, U.S. Public Health Service.
