On hydrodynamic methods for the analysis of the sizes and shapes of polysaccharides in dilute solution: A short review

Solutions to the Bushin-Bohdanecky and Yamakawa-Fujii equations using equivalent radii approach for pullulan (inset). The x-axis and y-axis represent Lp (nm) and ML (g mol−1 nm−1) respectively. The calculated minimum is indicated (○). This result is consistent with random coil conformation, however excluded volume effects have not been taken into account.
