Abstract
A new method has been developed to determine molecular weight (specifically, ratio g = s(omega sq.)/D, where omega = angular velocity, s = sedimentation coefficient, D = diffusion coefficient) from an experimental schlieren plot, dc/dr vs r, taken at equilibrium. By applying this method, one can determine the entire distribution of molecular weight from equilibrium sedimentation, as well as the average values.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
