General Information
Term molecular sieving ID (Ontology) MI:0071 (Molecular Interactions)
Definition In sizing columns (gel filtration), the elution position of a protein or of a complex depends on its Stokes radius. Molecules with a radius that is smaller than the bead size are retained and retarded by the interaction with the matrix. The observation that two proteins, loaded on a sieving column, elute in a fraction(s) corresponding to a MW that is larger than the MW of either protein may be taken as an indication that the two proteins interact. Furthermore this technique provides a conceptually simple method for evaluating the affinity of the interaction.[ PubMed:7708014 ]
Also Known As "Gel Filtration" ; "Size Exclusion Chromatography" ; "Sizing column"
