We use standard hydrodynamic and light scattering theories to calculate the total intensity and dynamic light scattering properties of random aggregates of spherical particles containing up to ten spheres. When the aggregates have dimensions comparable to the wavelength of light, intraaggregate interference effects can dramatically reduce the apparent size of the aggregates. These results could be significant in interpreting DNA condensation, protein polymerization, and other biomolecular aggregation reactions. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 54: 168–172, 2000
