Table 1. Gyration radii, forward scattering intensities, molecular weights calculated from forward scattering intensities, and maximum pair distances for BSA20 and AF21.
R g and i(0): gyration radius and concentration-normalized forward scattering intensity for non-treated SAXS, respectively. R g1 and i 1(0): gyration radius and concentration-normalized forward scattering intensity of the monomer, respectively, which were derived using AUC–SAS. M: molecular weight calculated from the forward scattering intensity. D max: maximum pair distance from P 1(r). The error of the gyration radius is the standard deviation. The errors of the concentration-normalized forward scattering intensity and molecular weight were calculated from the standard deviations of the forward scattering intensity and concentration.
