Ratio of relative viscosities (translational diffusion viscousity/rotational diffusion viscousity) for abundant proteins

Range	MetE 3.6: TufA 3.0: CspC 3.2: GFP 2.5 unitless
Organism	Bacteria Escherichia coli
Reference	McGuffee SR, Elcock AH. Diffusion, crowding & protein stability in a dynamic molecular model of the bacterial cytoplasm. PLoS Comput Biol. 2010 Mar 5 6(3):e1000694. p.5 right column 3rd paragraphPubMed ID20221255
Comments	"Figure 3F plots the ratio of these relative viscosities, ?rel T/?rel R, versus molecular weight for all molecule types. For the abundant proteins MetE, TufA, and CspC, and the less abundant GFP, [researchers] find the ratio of these relative viscosities, ?rel T/?rel R, to be 3.6, 3.0, 3.2 and 2.5, respectively using the ‘full’ model perhaps surprisingly, similar numbers are also obtained with the ‘steric’ model (Figure 3F)."
