21. One needs to account for the fact that the PEG molecules for the molecular weights used in Bromberg et al.'s experiment, for example, are of comparable or even larger sizes than the protein molecules. However, PEG molecules are not spherical and they wrap around the protein molecules and thus the effective polymer/protein excluded volume is much reduced. See E. Eisenriegler, A. Hanke, and S. Dietrich, Phys. Rev. E 54, 1134 (1996).
