Quantitative Analysis of Protein Self-Association by Sedimentation
The concentration-dependent peak shift implies a rapid dissociation of the dimer on the time scale of sedimentation process. The s w-isotherm analysis using a homo-dimerization model resulted in a K d of 2.61 μM with 95% CI of [0.95, 5.99] μM, which is consistent with the previous studies using SV and SE 37.Web

Sedimentation Velocity Analytical Ultracentrifugation
The observed sedimentation process in SV typically displays one or more sedimentation boundaries, which are localized regions of steep concentration gradients between a "solvent plateau" (a region void of solutes) and a "solution plateau" (a region of constant concentration). With time, a sedimentation boundary translates and changes ...Web

Sedimentation in Particle Size Analysis
Abstract. Particle size analysis by sedimentation is one of the most important techniques of analysis. The principle is based on the fact that it is possible to draw conclusions about the geometrical dimensions (size) of the particles from the speed of their movement in a fluid. In the past many different apparatuses were developed.Web

Recent Developments on Application of Different Turbulence
In primary sedimentation tanks, there is a small variation in particle size, low particle concentration, and higher particle sizes. The concentration field has little impact on the flow field of the tanks, and the buoyancy effect is ignored (Tamayol et al., 2008). However, higher influent concentrations with different particle size ...Web
