Abstract

Methods for quantitative characterization of heterologous protein–protein interactions by means of analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) include sedimentation equilibrium, tracer sedimentation equilibrium, sedimentation velocity, and analytical band sedimentation. Fundamental principles governing the behavior of macromolecules in a centrifugal field are summarized, and the application of these principles to the interpretation of data obtained from each type of experiment is reviewed. Instrumentation and software for the acquisition and analysis of data obtained from different types of AUC experiments are described.
