Svedbergs to picoseconds
Type a value in S to get it in ps instantly.
7ps
That's about the same as a bacterial ribosome. At 100,000 g it would settle about 24.71 mm an hour.
Convert the other way: ps to S
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 ps
To convert svedbergs to picoseconds, multiply by 0.1.
Example: 70 S × 0.1 = 7 ps.
In the other direction, 1 ps = 10 S.
