Influence of excluded volume upon macromolecular structure and associations in 'crowded' media.
Results of experimental studies published since the last major review of excluded volume effects in biopolymer solutions in 1993 add to our appreciation of the scope and magnitude of such effects. Recent theoretical studies have improved incrementally our ability to understand and model excluded volume effects in simple model systems.
