Distributions of the radius of gyration for four proteins. The relative abundance of conformations having a given value of RG is plotted as a function of the value of RG. Symbols indicate the results of Monte Carlo simulations of Goldenberg (2003), taking into account long-range steric interactions between nonadjacent chain segments (circles) and with neglect of long-range steric interactions (squares). Also plotted are the best-fit distributions of Lhullier (solid curves) and Flory and & Fisk (dotted curves), calculated using the parameter values given in Table 1.
