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.
