the length over which a polymer's direction stays correlated, a measure of chain stiffness introduced in the Kratky-Porod chain model.

In biophysics, persistence length refers to the length over which a polymer's direction stays correlated, a measure of chain stiffness introduced in the Kratky-Porod chain model. This meaning comes from Kratky (1949) in Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas.[1]
