Table III.

Long rotational correlation time φ from the anisotropy decay of the peptide SARS_L in buffer solution at different temperatures. The global chi-square is also given. For comparison, the rotational correlation time for different aggregates of the SARS_L peptide at those temperatures is also indicated. The inclusion of a very short rotational correlation time (<100 ps) was necessary to account for the initial depolarization, but its value could not be accurately determined.
