[RASMB] frictional ratio

[Walter Stafford]

Holger,
	The relationship depends on molar mass. I refer you to 
sections 22f and 22g in Tanford's book "Physical Chemistry of 
Macromolecules" Wiley & sons  (1961) and equations 22-25 and 22-26 
as well as equation 9-40. You can derive the necessary relationship 
from those equations. A single value for f/fo does not apply.

Happy Solstice (both winter - and summer, for our antipodean colleagues)
