Correlation times for rotamer transitions. The correlation time for a residue is a function of the behavior of each χ-angle, often dominated by a single fastest angle. More terminal χ-angles and more solvent exposed χ-angles tend to move faster (exceptions noted in text). Correlation times longer than 1,000 ps are increasingly under-sampled due to the limits of simulation time, so mean correlation times of slower residues are likely underestimated.
