Abstract The fractions of poly(methacrylamido D-glucose) with molecular weights 7< M·10-4< 550 have been studied in water by the methods of molecular hydrodynamics. Kuhn-Mark-Houwink equations were obtained. The hydrodynamic invariant and the sedimentation parameter were also calculated. The equilibrium rigidity and the hydrodynamic diameter of molecules modeling macromolecules in solution were evaluated on the basis of the theory of the wormlike necklace model with the effects of excluded volume taken into account at different values of the excluded-volume parameter. The effect of fraction polydispersity on the quantitative values of exponents in the equations of the Kuhn-Mark-Houwink type and the Kuhn segment length is discussed.
