Abstract

Non‐ideal tracer sedimentation equilibrium is a technique devised to quantify the effect of high concentrations of unrelated macromolecules on the self‐ or hetero‐associations of dilute macromolecules. Principles and experimental techniques are reviewed, and previous experimental work summarized. A new analysis of experimental data is presented that requires no a priori assumptions regarding the nature of weak repulsive interactions between solute species and the concentrated (crowding) species.
