pubmed:abstractText
A specimen of intestinal glycoprotein isolated from the pig and two samples of dextran, all of which are polydisperse (that is, the preparations may be regarded as consisting of a continuous distribution of molecular weights), have been examined in the ultracentrifuge under meniscus-depletion conditions at equilibrium. They are compared with each other and with a glycoprotein from Cysticercus tenuicollis cyst fluid which is almost monodisperse. The quantity c(-(1/3)) (c=concentration) is plotted against xi (the reduced radius); this plot is linear when the molecular-weight distribution approximates to the ;most probable', i.e. when M(n):M(w):M(z): M((z+1))....... is as 1:2:3:4: etc. The use of this plot, and related procedures, to evaluate qualitatively and semi-quantitatively molecular-weight distribution functions where they can be realistically approximated to Schulz distributions is discussed. The theoretical basis is given in an Appendix.
