In SEC if the analyte is large and completely excluded from the mobile phase within the particle, Kd = 0, whereas, if the analyte is sufficiently small to gain complete access to the inner mobile phase, Kd = 1 where Kd is distribution coefficient.

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology

In proteins, there are three types of chromophores relevant for UV/Vis spectroscopy:

peptide bonds (amide bond);

certain amino acid side chains (mainly tryptophan and tyrosine); and

certain prosthetic groups and coenzymes (e.g. porphyrine groups such as in haem).
