A new hydrodynamic shape function, lambda, is derived for determining the conformation of biological macromolecules in solution, adding to the increasing number of shape parameters whose experimental determination does not require a knowledge of the particle swelling due to solvation in solution. lambda can be found from a knowledge of the molecular weight, intrinsic viscosity and the harmonic mean rotational relaxation time. A table of values and a plot of lambda as a function of axial ratio for both oblate and prolate ellipsoids of revolution are given.
推导出一种新的流体动力学形状函数λ,用于确定溶液中生物大分子的构象,这增加了越来越多的形状参数,其实验测定不需要了解由于在溶液中溶剂化导致的颗粒膨胀情况。可以根据分子量、特性粘度和谐波平均旋转弛豫时间来确定λ。给出了扁长旋转椭球体和长旋转椭球体的λ值表以及λ作为轴比函数的曲线图。
