Abstract
The rotational diffusion of rodlike viruses in solution has been measured at concentrations intermediate between the dilute and the concentrated regimes. The strong concentration dependence observed is in agreement with the Doi-Edwards model based upon simple steric hindrance arguments between rotating rodlike macromolecules. The dependence of the rotational diffusion coefficient on the virus length has also been investigated.
