Up to the present time very little attention has been paid to the influence that electric charge may have on the sedimentation of macroions. Except for an article by Tiselius (1) in 1932 and a preliminary study by the author (2) at the same time, no systematic investigation seems to have been made.

General expressions relating the sedimentation and diffusion constants of polyelectrolytes to the friction properties of ionic components in multicomponent systems have been derived. A quantitative explanation of the charge effect with respect to the addition of a low-molecular-weight salt is given;
## Abstract Light scattered from a macromolecular solution in a capillary tube is used to determine both the sedimentation and translational diffusion coefficients. The capillary tube is spun in a preparative centrifuge, removed, and placed in a lightβscattering photometer equipped with a scanning
