[RASMB] SV on membrane proteins

Tue May 18 09:20:51 PDT 2010

Hi, Christine,

Yes, that was a typo.  Thanks for the correction.

We have been using the vbarD from le Maire (2000), rounding to 1.13.

Yes, our s and Mb are lower than one would expect for this protein if  
there were no detergent around.

Doing a very careful c(s), we find that there is a dominant, sharp  
peak, and well as a few minority peaks (~2-3% of sedimenting material)  
well separated from the main peak.  I am therefore modeling all of  
that.  The Mp that we get, after transforming with the (correct)  
formula, gives a number that agrees pretty well with SEC-MALS  
measurements on the same protein/detergent system.  We have performed  
the SV experiment at several different concentrations, and all seem to  
give the same s, so we think that this is not a reaction boundary.

Thanks for your input!

Chad
