摘要
A new instrument is described which measures retardation times for solutions of very large macromolecules in a creep-recovery type of experiment. Retardation times are closely related to relaxation times, and therefore should be useful parameters for determining molecular weights of macromolecules. Results of measurements on solutions of T2 bacteriophage DNA are presented. The molecular weights calculated by assuming that the DNA molecules are random coils agree well with the accepted value. © 1969, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
