Figure 5

Experimental and theoretical comparison of the diffusion coefficient. This figure shows the variation in diffusion coefficient of 1600-, 3200-, 4800- and 8000-mers corresponding to their concentrations for the three case studies of 2-(row 1), 3-(row 2) and 5-species(row 3). The panels on right show the experimental results while those on the left correspond to the theroretical predictions. Each panel shows two curves; the black curves represent the diffusion coefficients of the smallest molecules (1600-mers in each case) while the red curves represent the diffusion coefficients of the largest molecules namely: 3200-mers, 4800-mers and 8000-mers respectively corresponding to the 2-,3- and 5-species cases.
