Dynamic Light Scattering measurements of a protein encapsulated inside AOT/isooctane reverse micelles suspended in n-heptane at 10 °C and 1 atm show an average hydrodynamic diameter of 17 nm, while the empty micelles have an average diameter of 11 nm. Calculate the approximate hydrodynamic radius of the encapsulated protein, assuming spherical geometry of the protein and the reverse micelle and that the protein only occupies the aqueous core of the micelle.
