The molecular weight–gyration radius relation for a number of globular proteins based on experimental light scattering data is compared with small‐angle X‐ray scattering data recently published by Mylonas & Svergun [ J. Appl. Cryst. (2007), 40 , s245–s249]. In addition, other recent experimental data and theoretical calculations are reviewed. It is found that the M W – R g relation for the globular proteins is well represented by a power law with an exponent of 0.37 (2).
