The Stokes radii (in Ångstroms) of nonmodified and glucosylated b-LGA as determined by size exclusion chromatography and fluoresence correlation spectroscopy

Nonmodified Glucosylated

0 M 27.0 30.0 27.9 30.9
8 M 35.7 36.8 36.1 36.2

aBased on calibration of the size exclusion column using a set of standard proteins with reported Stokes radii. R2-value of calibration line (elution volume vs. Stokes radius) was 0.996. Accuracy of established radii was ± 0.3Å.

b The Stokes radius was calculated according to r=kT/(6πηD), where D (diffusion coefficient) was calculated using x2 =2Dt, with x being the radius of the selected volume (0.22 μm) and t the observed diffusion time. The intrinsic viscosity was corrected for the contribution of 8 M urea according to the standard formula given by Kawahara and Tanford (1966). The estimated accuracy of the values was ± 0.4 Å.
