Analytical Ultracentrifugation

Abstract

Analysis of ideal associating systems has been described in detail previously (Rivas et al., Methods 19:194–212, 1999): the reader is referred to that article for the basic theory. We will extend that analysis to nonideal and self- and hetero-associating systems by adding terms for deviations from both thermodynamic ideality and hydrodynamic ideality. In this chapter we will consider several effects of non-ideality on the sedimentation process.
