Treatment of Non-ideality in Sedimentation Velocity ExperimentsWalter Stafford,Boston Biomedical Research Institute, Watertown, MA 02472 U.S.A.
Generally empirical backflow (A.J. Rowe …) charge effects (Donnan equilibrium) Except for large asymmetric proteins, charge effects usually dominate backflow.
Both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic contributions Except for large asymmetric proteins, charge effects usually dominate excluded volume effects.
HYDRODYNAMIC Frictional coefficient Affects both s and D
Hydrodynamic c-dependence= same for s and D FD=gradient of chemical potential FC=gradient of centrifugal potential frictional resistance is the same for both
Thermodynamicconcentration dependence Excluded volume and Donnan equilibrium
Colligative virial coefficients B, C and D are the 2nd, 3rd and fourth virial colligative coefficients, respectively. (McMillan and Mayer, 1945, statistical thermodynamics)
Combined hydrodynamic and thermodynamic concentration dependence of D
