Abstract: | Hydrodynamics provides a powerful complementary role to the traditional "high resolution" techniques for the investigation of macromolecular conformation, especially in dilute solution, conditions which are generally inaccessible to other structural techniques. This paper describes the state of art of hydrodynamic representations for macromolecular conformation, in terms of (1) simple but straightforward ellipsoid of revolution modelling; (2) general triaxial ellipsoid modelling; (3) hydrodynamic bead modelling; (4) the ability, especially for polydisperse macromolecular systems, to distinguish between various conformation types; (5) analysis of macromolecular flexibility. |
