sedimentation coefficient
- sedimentation coefficient
sedimentation coefficient n a measure of the rate at which a molecule (as a protein) suspended in a colloidal solution sediments in an ultracentrifuge usu. expressed in svedbergs
* * *
the velocity at which a particle sediments in a centrifuge divided by the applied centrifugal field, the result having units of time (velocity divided by acceleration), usually expressed in Svedberg units (S), which equal 10−13 second. Sedimentation coefficients are used to characterize the size of macromolecules, e.g., 5.8S rRNA, 22S rRNA; they increase with increasing mass and density and are higher for globular than for fibrous particles. Called also sedimentation constant.
