Notes:
The various treatments of sedimentation equilibrium are compared on a theoretical and an experimental basis. Particular attention is paid to the polyelectrolyte nature of the problem and the choice of a neutral component. The effective density gradients of several cesium salts for DNA are measured. Two previous theories for the effective density gradient are shown to be equivalent, and the experimental values are interpreted with respect to these theories. It is clear t hat sedimentation equilibrium in a density gradient may be used for the determination of unambiguous molecular weights.
