, and 
mean gyration radius, mean monomer unit
contour length, and mean chain persistence length, respectively. Bold
data: value averaged over the 10 replica (for the persistence length,
the mean value is computed from averaging the replica Ck functions and superscript * indicates the mean end to
end distance, see main text).Values in parentheses: smallest, largest,
and standard deviation data within the replica set, at the exception
of 
data, for which the values in parentheses
are computed from eq 15. All data in nm.
