Snapshots from MD simulations for alkyl-substituted HA derivatives at various time points (water molecules and buffering ions are not shown for clarity). These simulations show that as the polymers transition from linear to random coil conformations, the nature of the hydrophobic moiety contributes to polymer packing and the resulting Rg.
