Quasi-elastic light scattering experiments are reported on tobacco mosaic virusin 10~ 3 M Na2HP04 buffer solution (pH 7.5). The theoretical formulation (Maeda, T.; Fujime, S. Macromolecules 1984, 17, 1157) for a thin rigid rod including anisotropy in translational diffusion was thoroughly examined by cumulant and two-exponential analyses of correlation functions. The cumulant analysis confirmed a recent result (Wilcoxon, J.; Schurr, J. M. Biopolymers 1983, 22,849). The results of the two-exponential analysis showed a good agreement with the theory. The analyses were highly consistent with each other and elucidated a large effect of anisotropy in translational diffusion on dynamic light scattering spectra. The behaviors of correlation functions against the magnitude of the momentumtransfer vector were examined, and a good agreement was obtained between experimental and theoretical correlation functions. The present results implythat boththe rotational diffusion coefficient and the sideways and lengthways translational diffusion coefficients can be determined simultaneously from dynamic light scatteringmeasurements.
