We report the dynamic light scattering study of the gelation of aqueous solutions of the biopolymer, pectin, induced by the addition of calcium chloride. The time correlation function data are analyzed under the framework of the coupling model. As the solution enters the semidilute regime where gela

Abstract
An enzyme digestion technique for obtaining the scatter from pectin molecules in solution is described and evaluated. Weight average molecular weights, ~w~, calculated from the pectin scatter, are considerably higher than literature values obtained via sedimentation equilibrium experiments, but the present results are preferred. Limited comparison with a number average value, ~n~, obtained osmometrically, suggests that pectins can be extremely poly disperse with ~w~/~n~ = 11, for example. The relationship of intrinsic viscosity to molecular weight is a complex function of composition.

## Abstract A quasielastic lightβscattering system has been constructed to study human fibrinogen. The first phase of the investigation was an attempt to clarify the shape of the firbinogen molecule using diffusion methods. The translational diffusion coefficient was measured as 2.04 Β± 0.09 Γ 10^β7
