Using the Stokes-Einstein equation, the hydrodynamic radius for each solution condition was calculated with the experimentally collected diffusion constant; D=KBT/(6ηπrH). The number of amino acids was then calculated based on the hydrodynamic radius (rH=4.75N^0.29), which was converted into an average molecular weight.
