30. Even though A-DNA is well approximated as a polymer chain with 150 Kuhn steps, its persistence length is sensitive to experimental conditions such as temperature, salt concentrations, etc. Furthermore, simulations have shown that the behavior of a 220 Kuhn step chain in steady shear is quantitatively the same as that of a 150 Kuhn step chain. Due to this variability, we choose to assume a value of 200 for A-DNA which corresponds to T4-DNA (3.4 times longer than A-DNA) having about 685 Kuhn steps.

48. These PSDs were extracted using the projected size in the flow direction rather than the end-to-end vector. Since the actual ends of the polymer chain are impossible to ascertain, one must resort to looking at the maximum size in a given direction instead. This difference is not expected to affect any scaling.40
