The sedimentation coefficient (S) is a measure of the rate of sedimentation of a particle under centrifugal force, which indirectly reflects the size and shape, density and frictional coefficient of the particle. The S value is used to differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes, with eukaryotic ribosomes having a higher S value due to their larger size and density.
