Migration distance relative to that of maltooligosaccharides derived from dextran; e.g., a band 0.5 of the unit distance between glucose (RMI 1.00) and maltose (RMI 2.00) has an RMI of 1.50.

Band fluorescence intensity was measured using SigmaGel analytical software as described in the text and rated as a percentage of pixel number ranging from background (0%) through saturation (100%): 1 = 0 to 25%; 2 = 26 to 50%; 3 = 51 to 75%; 4 = 76 to 100% saturation.
