Sodium metatungstate, N~[H,W,,O,,] is presented as a new medium for density-gradient centrifugation. This electrolyte may be used in aqueous, aqueous sodium chloride, or in methanol solutions. The sedimentation behaviour of sodium metatungstate in binary (Na6[H2W,,0+,]/ H20) and in ternary (Na,[H,W,,O,]/NaCI/H,O) systems is presented and discussed. Practical examples are presented from macromolecular chemistry (Sedipur), biochemistry (DNA), and mineralogy (sodium-aluminium mica).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
