13. Certain commercial material and equipment are identified in this publication in order to specify adequately the experimental procedure. In no case does such identification imply recommendation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology nor does it imply that the material or equipment identified is necessarily the best available for this purpose.
14. The accepted SI unit of concentration, mol/L, has been represented by the symbol M in order to conform to the conventions of this journal.
15. The maximum total uncertainties can be estimated to be within 10% of the shown values.

27. Recently, Glatter et al. have developed a generalized indirect Fourier transform (GIFT) method that takes into account structure factor contributions to the scattering intensity. Preliminary comparison between the cutoff data analyzed with ITP and the full data sets analyzed with GIFT shows no quantitative difference.
28. The original expression also includes the number N of Kuhn segments between branching points, which can be factored out in these expressions as it is a constant for a given dendritic structure.
