Core-shell model of a hydrated spherical protein with hydrated radius R that is 1.3X larger than the packed amino-acid core with radius rv , creating an excluded diameter 2R. The packed radius scales as MW1/3 so that protein volume scales directly with MW. The hydration shell surrounding a polyelectrolyte protein is an osmolaric barrier to physical contact between two proteins.
