7×10¹⁴S
That's 3,500,000,000,000× as large as a small virus — nothing on our list beats it. At 100,000 g it would settle about 2.471×10¹⁴ mm an hour.
What it means
How fast does it settle?
Svedberg values depend on shape as well as mass, which is why they do not add: the 30S and 50S subunits make a 70S ribosome.
The math
How to convert s to S
