Abstract
A treatment of a macromolecule's configurational partition function, with an additional factor g1/2 resulting from the momentum partition is given. An expression for g1/2 is derived in the form of multipliers, each of them depending on some neighbouring bond angles. In the case of equal bond angles g1/2 can be calculated exactly.Keywords
