Hydrodynamic properties of complex, rigid, biological macromolecules: theory and applications

de la Torre, José García, Bloomfield, Victor A.·1981·Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics

Abstract

Among the Various methods for characterizing macromolecules in solution, hydrodynamic techniques play a major role. Since the advent of the ultracentrifuge and the development of viscometric apparatus, sedimentation coefficients and intrinsic viscosities have been extensively used to learn about the size and shape of synthetic and biological polymers. More recently, refined techniques such as quasielastic light scattering, transient electric birefringence and fluorescence anisotropy decay have made it possible to obtain in a simple and rapid way quantitative information of high precision on the translational and rotational brownian dynamics of dissolved macromolecules.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
