Sedementation
• When particles are forced through a solution, they experience resistance to movement which depends on properties of the particle such as mass, shape and density and properties of the solvent such as its temperature, viscosity, density and composition.
• A commonly-used experimental format where this occurs is sedimentation in a centrifugal field which is also called centrifugation.
• This can be used as a preparative strategy to separate complex mixtures present in biological samples.
• Alternatively, it can also be used analytically to determine the mass, shape or density of particles.

Physical Basis of Centrifugation
• Consider a particle of mass, mo, suspended in a solvent of density, ρ.
• This particle would experience an upthrust equivalent to the weight of displaced liquid in accordance with Archimedes’s principle.
• The buoyant mass, m, of the particle is therefore mo minus a correction factor for this upthrust;
m = mo − mo · ν · ρ

• where ν is the partial specific volume of the particle. • This is equal to the volume displaced by the particle and is
approximately equal to the reciprocal of the density of the solute although the degree of particle hydration can affect it.
• For example,charged particles (which attract solvent molecules, compacting them in its vicinity) give smaller values of ν than might be anticipated from particle density alone.
• If this particle is exposed to a centrifugal field (Figure 7.5), it experiences a centrifugal force, F;

F = m · ω2 · r• where ω is the angular velocity of rotation (in
units of radians/sec. with one revolution = 2π radians) and r is the distance of the particle from the centre of rotation (cm).
• Combining Equations gives us;F = mo(1 − ν · ρ) · ω2 · r

• This equation means that, as the mass, angular velocity or distance from the centre of rotation increases, so does the centrifugal force experienced by a particle.

• As the particle passes through the solvent it experiences resistance due to a frictional force, F , operating in the ∗ opposite direction;
F = f · v∗
![Page 8: Sedementation When particles are forced through a solution, they experience resistance to movement which depends on properties of the particle such as](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d365503460f94a0ef17/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

• where f is a frictional coefficient dependent on the shape and mass of the particle and the viscosity of the solvent and v is the velocity of the particle.
• At the beginning of centrifugation, the particle accelerates through the solvent but eventually the frictional force decreases this acceleration such that a constant velocity called the sedimentation velocity is achieved.
• At this point;• F = F∗• i.e. mo(1 − ν · ρ) · ω2 · r = f · v
![Page 9: Sedementation When particles are forced through a solution, they experience resistance to movement which depends on properties of the particle such as](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d365503460f94a0ef17/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dr. Nikhat Siddiqi 9
• The sedimentation velocity is given by;v = mo(1 − ν · ρ) · ω2 · r/f
• Sedimentation velocity is dependent on the shape of the particle but, for a perfect sphere, this quantity is related to physical properties of the particle and solvent by;
υ = a2[ρp - ρm].ω2.r/18η
![Page 10: Sedementation When particles are forced through a solution, they experience resistance to movement which depends on properties of the particle such as](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d365503460f94a0ef17/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dr. Nikhat Siddiqi 10
• where a is the particle diameter, ρp and ρm are the densities of the particle and solvent, respectively and η is the viscosity of the solvent.
• The inverse relationship with viscosity means that sedimentation velocity decreases markedly with increase in solvent viscosity and (since viscosity is dependent on temperature) with temperature.
• For this reason, sedimentation velocities are usually corrected for different solvent composition and temperature to standard conditions of pure water at 20 ◦C.

• It is difficult to determine ν, ρ and f accurately so a useful measure of differential behavior in a centrifugal field is provided by the sedimentation coefficient, s;

g.• Centrifuged particles migrate at rate that
depends on mass, shape and density of the particle and density of the medium.

ratio of a particle’s sedimentation velocity to the acceleration applied to it.
• The sedimentation coefficient is expressed as svedberg unit.

• The more massive particle tends to move faster than a less massive one.
• The denser particle moves faster than a less dense one.
• The denser the solution the more slowly a particle will move.
• The greater the frictional coefficient, the more slowly the particle.

Applications of Analytical Ultracentrifugation
• Determination of protein homogeneity in solution (or a mixture of forms, e.g. monomer/dimer or aggregates).
• Determination of conformational changes associated with oligomerization or binding of another component
• Determination of molecular weights or subunit stoichiometry (monomer, dimer, trimer etc) in solution using sedimentation equilibrium.
• The analytical ultracentrifuge provides information about the oligomeric state of a protein and is more accurate than gel filtration.
