1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Eq. 4.14:
\zeta = 6 \pi \eta R
(Stokes formula)
2. The attempt at a solution
In my plot, collagen, hemoglobin and lactoglobulin give a straight line, while ribonuclease is a bit above the others.
I don't know which diffusion law I'm supposed to use. Fick's? Anyway, here's what I've done:
\zeta = 6 \pi \eta R
\eta = 10^-3 kgm^{-1}s^{-1}
k_BT = 4.1E-21 J
\zeta D = k_BT \Rightarrow D = \frac{k_BT}{\zeta} = \frac{k_BT}{6\pi \eta}\cdot\frac{1}{R} \Rightarrow D = 2.2E-19 \cdot \frac{1}{R}
Am I on the right track? I'm not sure what the problem asks me to do, really...
