    Analyzing mixed associating systems requires multiple high-speed sedimentation equilibrium experiments. Simultaneous analysis at three speeds and varying concentrations improves accuracy in determining association modes and molecular weights.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysical chemistry
    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular interactions

    Background:

    • Determining the association mode of mixed systems using sedimentation equilibrium is challenging.
    • A single experiment is often insufficient, even with known molecular weights.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To improve the accuracy and reduce ambiguity in analyzing mixed associating systems.
    • To establish a robust method for determining association modes and molecular weights.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing high-speed sedimentation equilibrium experiments.
    • Simultaneous analysis of concentration distributions at multiple rotor speeds (minimum of three).
    • Employing linear least-squares multi-speed fits and experiments at various initial concentrations.

    Main Results:

    • Simultaneous analysis at three speeds significantly reduces non-uniqueness in determining association modes.
    • Multi-speed fits effectively discriminate between different association models.
    • Varying initial concentrations and rotor speeds further enhance discrimination capabilities.
    • An overspeed procedure was proposed, with its time dependent on the frictional ratio, not significantly on molecular weight.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple sedimentation equilibrium experiments at different speeds and concentrations are crucial for accurate analysis of mixed associating systems.
    • The proposed overspeed procedure offers a reliable method for estimating minimal overspeed time.
    • This approach enhances the ability to elucidate complex molecular interactions.
