Dependence of the encapsidated DNA length L on persistence length ℒP of the DNA. The calculations (symbols) were performed for R = 10 nm capsid, osmotic pressure p = 1 atm in a solution containing 0.15 M of NaCl. The dashed line is a prediction of equation (15). The full line is a function L = L(p;ℒp= 0) − Cℒp, where C is treated as a fitting parameter (C = 0.0104).
