Discuss the principles and application of analytical centrifugation.
Analytical centrifugation: It is a separation method in which centrifugal force is applied so that different components of the sample are separated by density differences of components i.e., sedimentation of heterogenous components by using centrifugal force in a centrifuge.
Principles of analytical centrifugation:
Analytical centrifugation abides by the following principles.
Applications of analytical centrifugation:
This technique is employed to characterize the mass, size, shape, and association properties of macromolecules in solution. Some applications are listed below
