a Apparent molecular mass considering a globular protein.
b From Garnier et al. (27). f and f0 are the frictional coefficients.
c Extrapolation from calibration curve. Rs is the Stokes radius. S20,w0 is the corrected sedimentation coefficient at 20 °C in water at infinite dilution.
d ND, not determinable.
e Minimal molecular mass measured. Rg is the gyration radius.
