What is sedimentation coefficient?? |
|
Answer» 1 Svedberg is a indirect measure of density and size, i.e.sedimentation coefficient. 1 Svedberg represents 100 fs.1 fs = 10^-15 sSome helpful dataSedimentation coefficients of some cellular components.RNA - 5S,5.8S,18S,23S,28SMitochondria - 10^4 SChloroplast - 10^5S -10^6SNuclei - 10^6S - 10^7S Sedimentation Coefficient of a particle is a quantity related to the size of a microscopic particle, equal to the terminal outward velocity of the particle when centrifuged in a fluid medium divided by the centrifugal force acting on it, expressed in units of time. |
