Summary A survey is given of some recent progress, particularly in the author's own laboratory, of methods for the separation of macromolecules and particles of biological origin, as viruses, bacteriophage, microsomes, cell fragments, bacteria and whole cells. Special attention is given to recent developments in zone electrophoresis, protein chromatography, gel filtration and the new partition methods for separation of particles and macromolecules (Albertsson). A number of examples are given to illustrate the various applications. Special emphasis is laid upon the new possibilities for biochemical-genetic studies by application of high-resolution separation methods, and the significance of particle separation methods as applied to fragments of biological structures in providing a tool for structure investigations on a macromolecular level—a field which also should be of considerable interest from a chemical point of view.
