Sedimentation and diffusion of human albumins. 1. Normal human albumins at a low concentration

Abstract

The albumin fractions of a number of normal human sera were isolated electrophoretically. Sedimentation constants for these prepns. in the concn. range 0.2-0.3% are considerably lower than the hitherto accepted values. The reasons for this were thoroughly explored. Diffusion measurements in the Gouy diffusiometer show small, statistically significant variations from 1 prepn. to another.
