The rotational diffusion of rodlike M-13 viruses in solution has been measured at concentrations intermediate between the dilute and the concentrated regimes. The strong concentration dependence observed is in agreement with the Doi-Edwards model based upon simple steric hindrance arguments between rotating rodlike macromolecules. The dependence of the rotational diffusion coefficient on the virus length has also been investigated.
