20. 1 is sometimes denoted the "rotational relaxation time" for the polymer (see Ref. 16). For highly flexible molecules, it measures the temporal correlations of the longest instantaneous axis of the chain or of the end-to-end vector. In practice, the "rotation" of the longest instantaneous axis will generally be accomplished by a pseudorotational process involving elaborate conformational adjustments. For fully collapsed long chains, we are suggesting that a genuine stiff-molecule rotational mechanism may be significant or even dominant.
