Abstract
With regard to comb-like polypeptides, theoretical calculations on the mean square of the unperturbed radius of gyration ‹S2›0,av and branching factor g in random coil form were carried out for two cases, i.e., uniformly and randomly distributed subchain lengths. The radius of gyration ratio ‹S2›0,av/nl2 and g were larger than those of the star-like chain of the same number of subchains, and were dependent on the degree of polymerization as well as the number of branching points.
