[RASMB] DTT for equilibrium runs?

Debby,
in my experience, a few mM DTT has not really been a big problem in the 
past.  Yes, the baseline absorbance changes with time, and it's important 
to account for that in the data analysis.  With long-column sedimentation 
equilibrium (4-5mm columns) and appropriate rotor speed that include close 
to meniscus depletion, that's not an issue, though.  TCEP is recommended by 
many colleagues, but some colleagues here have made poor experience with it 
for particular proteins.  I have not tried it, yet.
