Polysaccharides are promising macromolecular platforms for use in the life sciences. Here, bioactive cellulose, pullulan, and dextran valproates are characterized hydrodynamically by sedimentation velocity and thermodynamically by sedimentation equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation. Using sedimentation-diffusion analysis of sedimentation velocity experiments by numerical solution of the Lamm equation enabled the calculation of sedimentation and diffusion coefficients, and consequently molar masses. Sedimentation equilibrium experiments were then also used to determine the average molar masses. The corresponding set of data, with independently performed self-diffusion measurements by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and together with size exclusion chromatography molar masses by coupling to refractive index-, viscometric-, and multi-angle laser light scattering detection, were subsequently correlated to each other by the hydrodynamic invariant and sedimentation parameter. We assess statistically most relevant average values of the molar masses of these polysaccharide valproates with relevant macromolecular conformational characteristics.
