20. In the absence of a free-energy barrier to expansion, the observed relaxation time (Formula presented) characterizes either expansion or collapse following a small perturbation [S.J. Hagen, Proteins Struct. Funct. Genet.10.1103/PhysRevE.61.565 50, 1 (2003)].

Freeman and Co., New York, 1992)]. Then (Formula presented) under solvent conditions that favor contraction, as in the present study.
